"The past twenty years have seen an explosion of research on the transformations of childhood in China. In this book, Orna Naftali gives us a masterful overview of these efforts. Drawing on her own research and the writings of others, she shows how China?s many transformations have differentially affected the lives of children from a diverse array of backgrounds."<br /><b>Andrew Kipnis, The Australian National University<br /><br /></b>"Orna Naftali's new book is a wonderful resource for those seeking to understand how a century of revolution and reform in modern China has shaped - and continues to shape - the lives of Chinese children. Through the lens of childhood, she engages with a series of critical issues facing China today, including those related to migration, consumption, globalization and national identity."<br /><b>Charles Stafford, London School of Economics</b><br /><br />"This book presents a clear, engaging overview of the latest scholarship about children in China. With vivid, specific examples as well as well-supported generalizations about the situations of urban, rural, and migrant children in many different areas of China, it is the most comprehensive book about Chinese children available." <br /><b>Vanessa Fong, Amherst College</b><br /><br /> "Naftali?s book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the mixed effects of China?s market reforms. It is a great guide for anyone interested in learning about children, education, and family relations in 21st-century China."<br /><b> Choice
