Why is it important?

It examines socio-political transformations of contemporary Chinese society through a systematic account, analysis and assessment of its salient discourses and their tensions, negotiations and consequences; all against a backdrop of China’s dynamic political, economic and sociocultural processes. The book assesses how and to what extent the use of language contributes to the management of China’s transformations and to the formation of new identities; and what it can tell us about the nature, mode, tensions and significance of those transformations in China’s pursuit of a viable road to modernity.
