Recenzii

"Carolyn L. Hsu examines the narrative construction of systems of value and stratification in the transition away from socialist economic structures. This emphasis allows her to move beyond studies of stratification that are overly focused on state institutions. She demonstrates how people from all walks of life reinterpret the narratives issued from various organs of the Chinese state and how these reinterpretations affect the job choices and life strategies of individuals as well as the corporate and collective strategies of the institutions for which they work. In so doing, she makes an important contribution not only to the study of post-Mao China but also to the sociology of post-socialist societies more generally."--Andrew Kipnis, author of China and Postsocialist Anthropology: Theorizing Power and Society after Communism Shortlisted for ICAS Book Prize 2009 in Social Sciences
