{"product_id":"just-one-child-susan-greenhalgh-9780520253391","title":"Just One Child: Science and Policy in Deng's China","description":"China's one-child rule is unassailably one of the most controversial social policies of all time. In the first book of its kind, Susan Greenhalgh draws on twenty years of research into China's population politics to explain how the leaders of a nation of one billion decided to limit all couples to one child. Focusing on the historic period 1978-80, when China was just reentering the global capitalist system after decades of self-imposed isolation, Greenhalgh documents the extraordinary manner in which a handful of leading aerospace engineers hijacked the population policymaking process and formulated a strategy that treated people like missiles. \u003ci\u003eJust One Child\u003c\/i\u003e situates these science- and policymaking practices in their broader contexts-the scientization and statisticalization of sociopolitical life-and provides the most detailed and incisive account yet of the origins of the one-child policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Greenhalgh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520253396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520253391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.89h x 6.22w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/22\/2008 pg. 1042\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009","brand":"Susan Greenhalgh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919946416383,"sku":"9780520253391","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a2206cce-3a10-41ec-9d95-750f89f79ce8.jpg?v=1680812785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-one-child-susan-greenhalgh-9780520253391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
