Book Summary
This imaginative and incisive collection of pieces about life in contemporary
China reveals, like a series of snapshots, a picture of the lives of ordinary
people and the rules and rituals that govern their daily existence. Key themes
surface: in particular, the emergence of a consumer culture driven by the
market, and the way in which this intersects with the "floating population" of
vagrants, prostitutes and liumang (hooligans). We see how, in turn, the official
strategies of the state deal with this perceived social disorder and how the
street responds. Underlying much of the discussion of contestation and
transformation is the notion of human rights. Street life
