Reviews
In this readable overview of the single child generation's attitudes toward social change in present-day Beijing, the authors individually focus on separate topics that range from higher education, housing, and attitudes toward nationalism to the rural-urban divide over the use of digital technologies. The Chinese authors use in-depth case studies that highlight the most recent cultural trends in Beijing society. The book is at its best when the authors discuss rural and urban cultural differences as well as seek to understand some of the current social changes as being more in line with historical trends. Especially notable chapters discuss ambivalence as it pertains to youth attitudes toward online friendships and attitudes renters have toward renting and the fickleness of landlords. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels/libraries. W. R. Jankowiak, University of Nevada, Las Vegas - CHOICE
