Its authors analyze fresh evidence through new and compelling frameworks that capture the often contradictory but always fascinating 'assemblages' that constitute Chinese social, economic, cultural, and political life. All of the essays adopt a mode of presentation and argumentation that moves back and forth between theoretical commentary and ethnographic description; all are clearly written, highly accessible, moving, and evocative in their storytelling.\" -- Susan Greenhalgh, University of California, Irvine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Privatizing China: Powers of the Self, Socialism from Afar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Aihwa Ong and Li Zhang\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART I.
