Reviews

This book is an excellent ethnography of urban middle-class living in the midst of rapid transformation in China's postsocialism. The validity of Zhang s ethnography is enhanced by its frankness, her willingness to be honest about those with whom she mingled so closely in her hometown. . . . Especially given the difficulty in gaining access to the lives of middle-class people, who prefer the privacy of living in gated communities, this book is ethnography at its best. It will be of interest to scholars working in Chinese market transition, class and social stratification, state-society relations, and urban studies, as well as those who are interested in empirically-grounded social and cultural theories. Seio Nakajima, Journal of Asian Studies (May 2011)
