labour and environmental disputes

rural and ethnic conflict

migration

legal challenges

intellectual and religious dissidence

opposition to family planning.

The newly revised, third edition adds two new chapters on gender and the family, and the reform of the Hukou system thus providing a comprehensive text for both undergraduates and specialists in the field, encouraging the reader to challenge conventional images of contemporary Chinese society.
