Reviews

Explanation of social change in the People’s Republic of China is most usually heavily determined by the political leadership’s policy statements. Prof Gao’s highly original analysis instead focusses on ordinary people’s everyday responses to and interactions with the policy process, and advances an overall theory of their social psychology in terms of competitive social repositioning. — David S. G. Goodman, China Studies Centre, University of Sydney One of the most successful attempts that analyses current China’s social transformations through the daily life and experiences of contemporary Chinese people. — Shenshen Cai, Chinese Studies, Monash University.
