A study of the dynamics of Chinese state socialist society under the impact of ten years of reform. Workers, lower-level state cadres and private entrepreneurs were interviewed on the ordinary strategies of daily life in China.
First Published in 1996. This study is the outcome of eight-months'' fieldwork in Beijing, the capital of the People''s Republic of China (PRC), from 8 November 1988 to 17 June 1989. The original purpose of the fieldwork had been to acquire a grass-roots perspective on the dynamics of Chinese state socialist society under the impact of ten years of reform. This was extended to include People''s Movement. The central questions this book therefore tries to answer are: how can these two different fieldwork experiences be reconciled with each other, and what do they tell us about the dynamics of Chinese culture and society?
