In questioning the notion of consumption, this impressive work suggests that it is not simply a symptom of economic reform within China neither a product of the emergence and transformation of contemporary Chinese capitalism. Rather, the essays offer a new perspective on Chinese consumption by focusing on more than just consumerism, looking at the practices of consumption in relation to different manifestations of social and cultural change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on case studies from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China, \u003cem\u003eConsuming China\u003c\/em\u003e affords a greater understanding of the practice of Chinese consumption and will appeal to China scholars and anthropologists, and to those with an interest in cultural and gender studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245149180248,"sku":"9780415546867","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415546867_f0975a92-2646-4e52-8631-e5a60c73c699.jpg?v=1777737628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/consuming-china-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
