The authors make a collective effort to go beyond the conventional model of filial piety to explore the rich, nuanced, and often unexpected new intergenerational dynamics. Supported by ethnographic findings from the latest field research, novel interpretations of neo-familism address critical issues from fresh perspectives, such as the ambivalence in grandparenting, the conflicts between individual and family interests, the remaking of the moral self in the face of family crises, and the decisive influence of the Chinese state on family change. The book is an essential read for scholars and students of China studies in particular and for those who are interested in the present-day family and kinship in general.China Studies ;42.FamiliesChinaHistory21st centuryFamiliesHistory306.8509510905Yan Yunxiang1954-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825724903321Chinese families upside down4108979UNINA
