"Contemporary China and India have been powerfully shaped by trans- and subnational forces. This volume approaches China and India via a strategy of "convergent comparison," exploring local and global influences through a focus on labor relations; legal reform and rights protest; public goods provision; and transnational migration and investment"--Provided by publisher.

China Off Center takes as its fundamental assumption that contemporary China can only be understood as a complex, decentralized place, where the view from above (Beijing) and from tourist buses is a skewed one. Instead of generalizing about China, it demonstrates that this diverse national terrain is better conceived as it is experienced by Chinese, as a set of many Chinas. To that end, this anthology of interpretive essays and ethnographic reports focuses on the everyday, the particular, the local, and the puzzling. Together with contextualizing introductions, the readings provide students with a compelling look at some little-known but significant aspects of China from the past decade; for those already familiar with China, they furnish an assortment of uncommon viewpoints in a single, convenient volume.Foreword by Prasenjit DuaraContributors: A.
