This comprehensive, interdisciplinary Handbook illustrates the patterns of class transformation in China since 1949, situating them in their historical context. Presenting detailed case studies of social stratification and class formation in a wide range of settings, the expert contributors provide valuable insights into multiple aspects of China's economy, polity and society. The Handbook on Class and Social Stratification in China explores largely neglected contemporary topics such as women's social mobility in relation to marriage and the high school entrance exam as a class sorter, placing it at the forefront of progressive literature.
