In the face of international pressure and domestic upheaval, young urban radicals-desperate for reforms that would save their nation-clamored for change, championing Western-inspired family reform and promoting free marriage choice and economic and emotional independence. But what came to be known as the New Culture Movement had the unwitting effect of fostering totalitarianism. In this wide-reaching, engrossing book, Susan Glosser examines how the link between family order and national salvation affected state-building and explores its lasting consequences. Glosser effectively argues that the replacement of the authoritarian, patriarchal, extended family structure with an egalitarian, conjugal family was a way for the nation to preserve crucial elements of its traditional culture. Her comprehensive research shows that in the end, family reform paved the way for the Chinese Communist Party to establish a deeply intrusive state that undermined the legitimacy of individual rights. 410 0$aAsia--local studies/global themes ;$v5. 606 $aFamilies$zChina$xHistory 606 $aFamily policy$zChina 606 $aDomestic relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xHistory$yRepublic, 1912-1949 607 $aChina$xHistory$y1949-1976 610 $a20th century. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese culture. 610 $achinese history. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $acommunist party. 610 $aconjugal family. 610 $aeconomic independence. 610 $aegalitarian society. 610 $afamily order. 610 $afamily reform. 610 $agovernment control. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $aindividual rights. 610 $amarriage choice. 610 $amodern china. 610 $anational salvation. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anew culture movement. 610 $apatriarchy. 610 $areform. 610 $arepublican era. 610 $asocial change. 610 $asovereignty. 610 $astate building. 610 $asurveillance. 610 $atotalitarianism. 610 $aurban radicals. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory. 615 0$aFamily policy 615 0$aDomestic relations 676 $a951.04 700 $aGlosser$b Susan L.$f1961-$01009988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780375803321 996 $aChinese visions of family and state, 1915-1953$92334353 997 $aUNINA
