The \u003ci\u003ehukou\u003c\/i\u003e system registers and governs the 1.3 billion Chinese, while creating deep and rigid divisions and exclusions; in many domains the system determines how the Chinese live and shapes China's sociopolitical structure and socioeconomic development. This book shows that the system has made both positive and negative contributions to contemporary Chinese society: it has helped foster rapid economic growth and political stability, but also has reinforced social stratification, the rural-urban divide, regional inequalities, and discrimination and injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing rich new materials, this book traces the history and development of the \u003ci\u003ehukou\u003c\/i\u003e system. It describes the functions, impact, and operational mechanisms of the system. It also analyzes the \u003ci\u003ehukou\u003c\/i\u003e in comparison with the systems of exclusion and discrimination in other nations, notably Brazil and India. This book presents important insights for understanding China's past, present, and future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fei-Ling Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.30w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804750394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFei-ling Wang is Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology's Sam Nunn School of International Affairs.
