Marginalization in Urban China

This book covers social inequalities in Chinese cities and provides comparative perspectives on inequality and social polarization, neoliberalization and the poor, the change of property rights, rural to urban migration and migrants' enclaves, deprivation and residential segregation, state social security and reemployment training programs.

'This well-written and well-edited volume provides the best available account of the stresses and strains in China's exploding cities.' -Ray Forrest, Housing Studies
