{"product_id":"mobility-and-cultural-authority-in-p-l-nyri-9780295990163","title":"Mobility and Cultural Authority in Contemporary China","description":"\u003cp\u003eChinese citizens are becoming increasingly mobile, both inside China and abroad, as migrant workers, tourists, and students. China is caught between perceived benefits and dangers posed by mobility, complicated by the government's own conflicting impulses to support and discourage it. \u003ci\u003eMobility and Cultural Authority in Contemporary China\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates this intricate balance through an in-depth look at patterns of migration and state response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eP疝 Ny?i argues that the loosening of China's restrictions on internal and international migration, its promotion of domestic tourism, and its increasingly positive portrayal of migrants all follow a similar logic in which mobility comes to epitomize a new and modern China. Yet the loosening of administrative control is compensated by the imposition of cultural control over how mobility is represented and how mobile citizens make sense of their new experiences, as well as by continued restrictions on types of movement that are seen as undesirable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith ever-growing popular and academic scrutiny of the topic of national and international migration, this compact, engrossing, and timely study is well poised to be read widely by scholars interested in globalization, nationalization, modernization, tourism, and modern China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e P疝 Ny?i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295990163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295990163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.08w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011","brand":"P疝 Ny?i","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190545969407,"sku":"9780295990163","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e877c84c-a776-48a6-996c-d3bd53fc8ff1.jpg?v=1690871115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobility-and-cultural-authority-in-p-l-nyri-9780295990163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
