Streetlife China
Michael Dutton.
Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1998.
In this collection, Michael Dutton offers both a lively reader and a unified theoretical argument about contemporary Chinese streetlife. The pieces - drawn from newspapers, government documents, academic writing and interviews - build a vivid picture of everyday life in China. Dutton's editorial hand and incisive commentary on these pieces from a rigorous discussion around current theory. Streetlife is shown to be a creative, dynamic, dissenting, deviant and often compliant aspect of the economic, political and cultural face of China. Key themes are the emergence of a market-driven consumer culture, and how this intersects with social outsiders; state strategies and the street's response. Underlying this narrative is the theme of human rights.
