Booknotes by The SocioWeb:
This book has recently been reviewed by Yongmin Sun, Ph.D, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at The Ohio State University. In his review he notes that "As China is rising as a global power at the beginning of the 21st Century, so are the interests of Americans to understand this economic giant and its changing social structures. Dr. Yi Li's new book, The Structure and Evolution of Chinese Social Stratification, addresses these interests by providing an excellent analysis of the gradual evolution of the Chinese social stratification system.
Description:
There have been two great shifts of power on the world stage during the past five centuries: the rise of Europe following the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of the United States after its Civil War. As we speak, a new power shift is beginning to take shape: the rise of Asia. Leading Asia's charge toward the world's center stage are the reemerging powers of China and India. To answer and adapt to such new challenges, the United States must develop a thorough understanding of the society of China. The Structure & Evolution of Chinese Social Stratification provides detailed analysis critical to understanding the class structure of Chinese society, both pre-1949 and in the post-Mao era. Its explanation of the origin, structure, and evolution of the model will be essential reading material for any introductory student of Chinese society.
