Edited by Zhou Xiaohong, the work explores the revival and development of sociology in China after it was banned as a 'bourgeois pseudo discipline' post-1949. The book captures the stories of scholars who played pivotal roles in the reconstruction of Chinese sociology, including those who engaged in academic exchanges and collaborations internationally. It reflects on the discipline's evolution alongside China's social changes and reform, providing insights into the sociological landscape and its impact on societal understanding. The text serves as a resource for students, researchers, and academics interested in the field of sociology, particularly within the context of contemporary Chinese society. ER -
