{"product_id":"9781138302549","title":"The Identity Of Zhiqing: The Lost Generation (Routledge Contemporary China Series)","description":"Outside China, little is known about the process and implications of the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside (UMDC) Movement, a Chinese state policy from 1967 to 1979 in which more than 16 million secondary school-leavers in different cities were relocated to rural areas. The Movement shaped the lives of these young people and assigned them a shared group identity: Zhiqing, or the Educated Youth. This book provides new research on Zhiqing, who were born and brought up after the establishment of the People? Republic of China and regarded as a lost generation during the Cultural Revolution. Presenting a remembrance of their tortuous life trajectories, the book investigates their distinctive identity and self-identification. Unlike earlier historical approaches, it does this from a social psychological perspective. It is also unique in its use of first-hand materials, as individuals?memories and reflections collected by in-depth interviews are compiled and presented as Zhiqing? self-portrait. This innovative research offers an informative and profound induction of the topic and also contributes to the development of contemporary Chinese studies by laying the foundation for a specialized Zhiqing study. Combining rich empirical research with a strong theoretical perspective, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Chinese history, sociology, anthropology and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eWeiyi Wu, Fan Hong, Hong Fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 16, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e110 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1138302546\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781138302549\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49397190983985,"sku":"9781138302549","price":54.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781138302549_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1717346173","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9781138302549","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
