ReviewsEducating the Chinese Individual is an ethnographically rich and stimulating study. It enriches our knowledge about a relatively understudied group-rural youth and young teachers-in a marginal setting. It challenges some common assumptions of the changing landscape of school education and everyday cultural practice of the younger generations in post-socialist China.... This book will attract a wide readership in educational studies, but will also appeal to audiences in sociology and anthropology who are interested in social change and youth culture in contemporary China.

SynopsisIn twenty-first-century China, socialist educational traditions have given way to practices that increasingly emphasize the individual. This volume investigates that trend, drawing on Hansen's fieldwork in a rural high school in Zhejiang where students, teachers, and officials of different generations, genders, and social backgrounds form what is essentially a miniature version of Chinese society. Hansen paints a complex picture of the emerging "neosocialist" educational system and shows how individualization of students both challenges and reinforces state control of society.
