Soup, Love, and a Helping Hand : Social Relations and Support in Guangzhou, China Hardback
by Friederike Fleischer
Part of the Asian Anthropologies series
Hardback
Description
Despite growing affluence, a large number of urban Chinese have problems making ends meet.
Based on ethnographic research among several different types of communities in Guangzhou, China, Soup, Love and a Helping Hand examines different modes and ideologies of help/support, as well as the related issues of reciprocity, relatedness (kinship), and changing state-society relations in contemporary China.
With an emphasis on the subjective experience, Fleischer’s research carefully explores people’s ideas about moral obligations, social expectations, and visions of urban Chinese society.
