In Becoming Citizens in China Shi Yunqing describes the two interlinked histories that have made China's urban and economic miracle: the unfolding of inner city renewal and the production of citizen shaped by the collective rights defence action resulted from demolition and removal projects. She reveals a complex problematic tension on State and the fabric of the Individual in Social Transition in China. This book is extremely well-documented and produced with abundant empirical materials. In this approach of the State-Individual relationship, Shi Yunqing convincingly elaborates how citizens have been produced in urban social movements against the background of differences between Chinese and Western development histories. The production of citizens in Chinese-style" produces insightful "located knowledge" and makes a contribution to a new global sociology and more especially to the Post-Western Sociology"--
