Description: Mobilising China's One-Child Generation by Orna Naftali Explores the militarisation of education and youth in contemporary China FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Drawing on a wide variety of Chinese-language publications and in-depth interviews with high-school students, Mobilising Chinas One-Child Generation provides systematic evidence of the spread of martial logic and techniques into Chinese schools. The book explores how China has implemented Patriotic Education (PE) and National Defence Education (NDE) programmes to foster love for the nation and the Party-state, mobilise the population to fight modern wars in the information age, and encourage youth to join the army. It studies how these programmes present the tropes of war and the military to youth, and how they are related to shifting constructions of gender and the national collectivity. It also documents students varied perceptions and notably contestations of this militarised ethos, complicating our understanding of popular nationalism and militarisation processes in this authoritarian global power. Author Biography Orna Naftali holds the Abraham Miller Chair in Chinese Studies and is an Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Review Around the world, matters of security are shrouded in secrecy. Naftali skilfully and courageously lifts the veil from the multiple enmeshments of education with militarisation in China, one youngster at a time. A disciplined and ruthless book, and a must read for everyone who desires to understand the promises and limits of militarisation.--Sabine FrÜhstÜck, University of California Santa BarbaraIn this ethnographically enriched book, Naftali navigates macro-level discourses, institutional practices and individual subjectivities to offer a nuanced exploration of Chinas militarisation of education and the complicated perceptions of it by the nations youth.--Fengshu Liu, University of OsloThis is the first authoritative study of how the Chinese education system and media guide youth on war, peace and the military. And, how youth respond in often unexpected ways to these top-down lessons. Naftalis insights are urgent and profound for all those concerned about China and the worlds strategic order.--Louise Edwards, University of New South Wales, Australia Details ISBN1399519417 Author Orna Naftali Publisher Edinburgh University Press Series Advances in Critical Military Studies Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781399519410 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-08-31 Imprint Edinburgh University Press Place of Publication Edinburgh Country of Publication United Kingdom UK Release Date 2024-08-31 ISBN-10 1399519417 Pages 232 Subtitle Education, Nationalism and Youth Militarisation in the Prc Audience Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly DEWEY 320.540951 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
