She contends that, although the Chinese Communist Party has always ostensibly favored women's rights and family reform, it has rarely pushed for such reforms. In reality, its policies often have reinforced the traditional role of women to further the Party's predominant economic and military aims. Johnson's primary focus is on reforms of marriage and family because traditional marriage, family, and kinship practices have had the greatest influence in defining and shaping women's place in Chinese society. Conversant with current theory in political science, anthropology, and Marxist and feminist analysis, Johnson writes with clarity and discernment free of dogma. Her discussions of family reform ultimately provide insights into the Chinese government's concern with decreasing the national birth rate, which has become a top priority. Johnson's predictions of a coming crisis in population control are borne out by the recent increase in female infanticide and the government abortion campaign. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aConfucianism$zChina$xHistory 606 $aFamilies$zChina$xHistory 606 $aSocialism$zChina$xHistory 606 $aWomen peasants$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xRural conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConfucianism$xHistory. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory. 615 0$aSocialism$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen peasants$xHistory. 676 $a305.4/0951 700 $aJohnson$b Kay Ann$0637255 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454079503321 996 $aWomen, the family and peasant revolution in China$91173998 997 $aUNINA
