Gender and
Chinese Society (Critical Concepts in Asian Studies), ed. by Xiaowei
Zang, Routledge, 2014
Compiled and introduced by Xiaowei Zang,
Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Sheffield, this new title
from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Asian Studies series is a collection of
classic and the very best cutting-edge scholarship on themes and issues around
gender in historical and contemporary China.
The collection will enable users to make sense of the diversity
and complexity of gendered China. Key topics covered include: gender, marriage,
and the family; gender inequality; gender and migration; and gender and
empowerment.
Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction newly
written by the editor, which carefully situates the collected material in its
intellectual context, Gender
and Chinese Society is an essential reference work. Indeed, it
is destined to be welcomed by scholars and students as a vital one-stop
research resource. (amazon)
