China Studies faculty across campus have been hard at work adding to the greater body of knowledge. Below are three books recently published that focus on China.<\/p>\n

Urbanization with Chinese Characteristics: The Hukou System and Migration<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

(Published by Routledge, September 2017)<\/h4>\n

Kam Wing Chan, Professor, Department of Geography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many agree that rapid urbanization in China in the late 20th<\/sup>\u00a0and early 21st<\/sup>\u00a0centuries is a mega process significantly reshaping China and the global economy. China\u2019s urbanization also carries a certain mystique, which has long fascinated generations of scholars and journalists alike. As it has turned out, many of the asserted Chinese feats are mostly fancied claims or gross misinterpretations (of statistics, for example). There does exist, however, an urbanization that displays rather uncommon “Chinese” characteristics that remain to inadequately understood. Building on his three decades of careful research, Professor Kam Wing Chan expertly dissects the complexity of China\u2019s\u00a0hukou\u00a0<\/i>system, migration, urbanization and their interrelationships in this set of journal articles published in the last ten years. These works range from seminal papers on Chinese urban definitions and statistics; and broad-perspective analysis of the\u00a0hukou\u00a0<\/i>system of its first semi-centennial; to examinations of migration trends and geography; and critical evaluations of China\u2019s 2014 urbanization blueprint and\u00a0hukou\u00a0<\/i>reform plan. This convenient assemblage contains many of Chan\u2019s recent important works. Together they also form a relatively coherent set on this topic. They are essential readings to anyone serious about gaining a true understanding of the prodigious urbanization in contemporary China.<\/p>\n

Chinese Literacy Learning in an Immersion Program<\/a><\/h4>\n

(Published by Palgrave Macmillan, February 2019)<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Chan Lu, Assistant Professor, Department of Asian Languages and Literature<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book examines one-way foreign language immersion education in the United States. It provides a clear and rich description of a Chinese (Mandarin) immersion program, its curriculum, instructional materials, assessment activities, parental involvement and student outcomes. The author analyses two studies that document the development of the students\u2019 reading skills in English and Chinese, and the progress of their vocabulary knowledge, lexical inference, and reading comprehension in Chinese. In addition, this book contextualizes the program in its eco-system, including its neighbourhood, school, and the school district, and discusses the importance of school leadership, parental involvement, neighbourhood support and language acquisition planning in making an innovative school program successful. Its concluding chapters offer recommendations for program- and classroom-level practices and suggest pathways for future research on biliteracy learning in Chinese one-way immersion programs. This book will appeal in particular to students and scholars of applied linguistics, second language acquisition and language education.<\/p>\n

Experimental Beijing: Gender and Globalization in Chinese Contemporary Art<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

(Published by Duke University Press, March 2018)<\/h4>\n

Sasha Su-Ling Wellandm Associate Professor, Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the lead-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the censorious attitude that characterized China’s post-1989 official response to contemporary art gave way to a new market-driven, culture industry valuation of art. Experimental artists who once struggled against state regulation of artistic expression found themselves being courted to advance China’s international image. In\u00a0Experimental Beijing<\/i>\u00a0Sasha Su-Ling Welland examines the interlocking power dynamics in this transformational moment and rapid rise of Chinese contemporary art into a global phenomenon. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and experience as a videographer and curator, Welland analyzes encounters between artists, curators, officials, and urban planners as they negotiated the social role of art and built new cultural institutions. Focusing on the contradictions and exclusions that emerged, Welland traces the complex gender politics involved and shows that feminist forms of art practice hold the potential to reshape consciousness, produce a nonnormative history of Chinese contemporary art, and imagine other, more just worlds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
