Each successive wave of revolution to hit modern China--political, cultural, and economic--has radically reshaped Chinese society. Whereas patriarchy defined the familial social structure for thousands of years, changing realities in the last hundred years have altered and even reversed long-held expectations. Transforming Patriarchy explores the private and public dimensions of these changes in present-day China. Patriarchy is not dead, but it is no longer the default arrangement for Chinese families: Daughters-in-law openly berate their fathers-in-law. Companies sell filial-piety insurance. Many couples live together before marriage, and in some parts of rural China, almost all brides are pregnant.
Drawing on a multitude of sources and perspectives, this volume turns to the intimate territory of the family to challenge prevailing scholarly assumptions about gender and generational hierarchies in Chinese society. Case studies examine factors such as social class, geography, and globalization as they relate to patriarchal practice and resistance to it. The contributors bring the concept of patriarchy back to the heart of China studies while rethinking its significance in dominant Western-centric theories of modernity.

Captivating, awe-inspiring, extraordinary life stories-Sparrow: Knowing God's Love During Every Moment brings to life persons who have made legendary and extraordinary history with amazing faith and fortitude while advancing Christian values and principles. The author uses daily events, art, literature, space science, history, and Bible stories to show that God is near to care for and love those who believe in him. Readers are able to apply God's eternal love for them in the personal reflection "Today and Now." Using the King James Version of the Bible, readers are exposed to important, fascinating, and notable Bible figures. This is a beautifully written book that illustrates God's love and highlights the fact that nothing is hidden from him. As the Sparrow is a metaphor for God's love, neither the tiny songbird nor man can fall to the ground without God's knowledge. This wondrous book celebrates the world created by God and his omnipresent involvement in the lives of those who love him regardless of time, place, or event.
