Overview

In Becoming Citizens in China, Shi Yunqing describes the two interlinked histories that have made China’s urban and economic miracle: the unfolding process of inner city renewal and the production of citizens shaped by the collective rights defence actions in response to demolition and resettlement projects. Shi reveals a complex problematic tension between the state and the individual during China's social transition. This book is rigorously researched and draws on a rich body of materials. In this approach to State-Individual relationship, Shi Yunqing convincingly shows how citizens are produced in urban social movements against the backdrop of differences between Chinese and Western development histories. The production of citizens in “Chinese-style” produces insightful “local knowledge” and contributes to a new global sociology in general and the Post-Western sociology in particular. __________ 在《再造城民》这本书中，施芸卿讲述了造就中国城市和经济奇迹的两段互为表里的历史：旧城的再造与公民的生产。从国家和个人之间的相互形塑出发，她展现了中国社会转型的独特逻辑。本书有着极其详实的法律、政策文本和田野材料，以“国家—个人”关系为研究路径，施芸卿令人信服地解释了在与西方发展历史不同的中国背景下，公民如何从都市社会运动中产生。“中国式”的公民生产提供了富于洞见的本土知识，为新的全球社会学，尤其是后西方社会学研究做出了贡献。
