China Urban: Ethnographies of Contemporary Culture

China Urban uses ethnography to look at China's cities and at the part urban space plays in the country's imagination. It follows a rapidly changing urban landscape while asking how cities are imagined and lived in.

The contributors ask readers to reconsider what the word 'urban' actually denotes, and whether anthropological critiques framed around cities still hold up as China changes at every scale, from the local to the global.

Readers of anthropology, Asian studies and urban studies will find the book a wide-ranging look at contemporary China.
