About This Item
Cambridge: Polity Press, 2000. Paperback octavo, good condition, edges lightly foxed, corner tip front cover creased, some edgewear. 270 pp. Norman Stockman (sociologist, University of Aberdeen) provides an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the main features of Chinese society. Describes a unique society that has undergone continuous transformation and upheaval throughout history, including the 20th century. Examines China from pre-revolutionary times to a rapidly modernising society based on Marxist principles, although the focus is on recent change. Particular attention is paid to Chinese cultural traditions and hierarchical relationships in familial and wider social settings, and their fate in the modern world.
