Table of ContentsReviewsThe past twenty years have seen an explosion of research on the transformations of childhood in China. In this book, Orna Naftali gives us a masterful overview of these efforts. Drawing on her own research and the writings of others, she shows how China s many transformations have differentially affected the lives of children from a diverse array of backgrounds. Andrew Kipnis, The Australian National University Orna Naftali's new book is a wonderful resource for those seeking to understand how a century of revolution and reform in modern China has shaped - and continues to shape - the lives of Chinese children. Through the lens of childhood, she engages with a series of critical issues facing China today, including those related to migration, consumption, globalization and national identity. Charles Stafford, London School of Economics This book presents a clear, engaging overview of the latest scholarship about children in China. With vivid, specific examples as well as well-supported generalizations about the situations of urban, rural, and migrant children in many different areas of China, it is the most comprehensive book about Chinese children available. Vanessa Fong, Amherst College Naftali s book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the mixed effects of China s market reforms. It is a great guide for anyone interested in learning about children, education, and family relations in 21st-century China.
