Chinese Family and Kinship

Abstract

China has undergone rapid and dramatic changes over the past two decades.To the sodal scientist in Chinese Studies, this presents both a problem and a challenge.Not only does newly acquired information become quickly dated, but many basic assumptions about this country and her people have to be reexamined in the light of new evidence, and areas of research previously neglected have been given new impetus.This series, with many contributions from well-established sinologists, seeks to highlight the most recent developments in the People's Republic of China.It is hoped that the series will thus reflect the changing trend of analysis and give voice to new research findings.As far as possible, China will also be analysed within the general context of development studies.Students in Chinese and development studies as weil as comparative sodal sciences courses will find this series indispensable reading.It is our hope that we will also find an audience among interested general readers.
