Book excerpt: China has a long and enduring culture involving a complex set of highly ritualised social roles. Less well known, however, is the existence throughout Chinese history and society of a vibrant culture of contract. In 1978 China began opening up to the West. Since then China has signed a wide range of international agreements (including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) and adopted a large number of Westernised laws which make a number of child promises (ie. promises aimed at minimising child-harm). However, the rights a child might legitimately enjoy in China at the present time, over and above those connected with their social obligations, are based not on their humanity but, rather, on their capacity to fulfil a set of contractual obligations (promises) which stem from the status of parties as interdependent (not independent) human beings. ; ;This book develops a basic philosophical framework with which to explore and analyse China'TMs child-promises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tender Voyage is the first full-length study of the history of childhood and children's lives in late imperial China. The author draws on an extraordinary range of sources to analyze both the normative concept of childhood—literary and philosophical—and the treatment and experience of children in China. The study begins with the history of pediatrics and newborn care and their evolution over time. The author moves on to the social environment of the child, including models of upbringing and expected behavior and the treatment of different kinds of children, including the rebellious and the "gentle" child. She examines the role of the mother, notably her close and complex relations with her sons, and the broader emotional world of children, their relationships with the adults around them, and the destructive power of death. The last section discusses concepts of childhood in China and the West. Throughout, the study keeps in view the issue of representation versus practice, the role of memory, and the importance of listening for what is not said.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true measure of any society is how it treats its children, who are in turn that society’s future. Making use of data from the longitudinal Chinese Family Panel Studies survey, the authors of this timely study provide a multi-faceted description and analysis of China’s younger generations. They assess the economic, physical, and social-emotional well-being as well as the cognitive performance and educational attainment of China's children and youth. They pay special attention to the significance of family and community contexts, including the impact of parental absence on millions of left-behind children. Throughout the volume, the authors delineate various forms of disparities, especially the structural inequalities maintained by the Chinese Party-state and the vulnerabilities of children and youth in fragile families and communities. They also analyze the social attitudes and values of Chinese youth. Having grown up in a period of sustained prosperity and greater individual choice, the younger Chinese cohorts are more independent in spirit, more open-minded socially, and significantly less deferential to authority than older cohorts. There is growing recognition in China of the importance of investing in children’s future and of helping the less advantaged. Substantial improvements in child and youth well-being have been achieved in a time of growing economic prosperity. Strong political commitment is needed to sustain existing efforts and to overcome the many obstacles that remain. This book will be of considerable interest to researchers of Chinese society and development.
