Product Information
This powerful book presents a fresh and compelling set of portraits that bring to life the human dimension of the vast and growing social and economic divides in urban China. Leading scholars explore the increasing rigidity of class and social boundaries, focusing on two new "castes" in contemporary China's cities--the immensely wealthy and the abjectly poor. Much has been made of the rise in incomes, the elimination of much rural poverty, and the expansion of an urban middle class over almost forty years of spectacular economic growth. But what often has been overlooked is the polarization, exclusion, and exclusiveness in cities that have accompanied this rise, along with the threat that these trends will extend to future generations. The book considers five cases that emblematize these castes and depict their varying degrees of agency. Highlighting the social groups at opposite ends of the social hierarchy, the contributors illuminate the growing inequality in urban China today.

Reviews
In this volume, Polarized Cities: Portraits of Rich and Poor in Urban China, the editor, Dorothy Solinger, employs a caste-like formation framework to examine the growing urban inequality in China. This book widens our understanding of rising urban inequality in contemporary China and would be an excellent teaching resource for China scholars who study social stratification, social mobility, and social inequality., Dorothy Solinger, who has brought much attention to the plight of China's urban poor, here assembles a distinguished group of scholars to throw light on an underside of that country's vaunted economic miracle: the hardening of inequalities of income and wealth to form an increasingly polarized society. This Revealing book explores the lives of both the ultra-rich and the destitute and makes clear that the state itself has played a large role in fostering polarization., This richly researched volume shows that, even though China's four decades of economic growth have lifted tens of millions of Chinese out of poverty, they have also created rigid structures of inequality and diverging mobility opportunities. China has also been rapidly urbanizing in recent decades, and today more than half of all Chinese live in cities. The dramatic contrasts between the fabulous and flaunted wealth of urban elites and the struggles of rural migrants and the urban poor documented by researchers in this volume will add fuel to debates about whether socialism any longer has meaning in contemporary China., This is an important book, tackling the most salient feature of Chinese society today: its polarization between the wealthy and the poor. Solinger's insights into the caste-like 'hierarchy of agency' in contemporary China are fresh and illuminating, and the case study chapters provide fascinating--and unsettling--details about the daily lives of Chinese citizens from across the socio-economic spectrum., Dorothy Solinger, who has brought much attention to the plight of China's urban poor, here assembles a distinguished group of scholars to throw light on an underside of that country's vaunted economic miracle: the hardening of inequalities of income and wealth to form an increasingly polarized society. This revealing book explores the lives of both the ultra-rich and the destitute and makes clear that the state itself has played a large role in fostering polarization., Dorothy Solinger, who has brought much attention to the plight of China's urban poor, here assembles a distinguished group of scholars to throw light on an underside of that country's vaunted economic miracle: the hardening of inequalities of income and wealth to form an increasingly polarized society. This Revealing book explores the lives of both the ultra-rich and the destitute poor and makes clear that the state itself has played a large role in fostering polarization., Going beyond the statistics on expanding social inequality, this important book, authored by world authorities on urban China, provides a stunning account of drastic social contrasts. The portraits of the rich and poor reveal not only their monumentally disparate lifestyles but also variegated agencies and life opportunities. Solinger's marvelous conceptual design brings the two social extremes under the same scrutiny., This book will be a good read for those who are interested in inequality and social mobility, China's post-reform transformations, or, more specifically, the daily lives of Chinese urban residents from across the socioeconomic spectrum. Hopefully this book will spur discussions on ways out of a polarized society among researchers, policy makers, and practitioners.
