Waves of timegenerations and social change in China /[electronic resource] :by Wen Xie. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xxi, 281 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: In the Shadows of War: From Revolutionary Ideals to Collective Struggles in Generational Formation -- Chapter 3: The Power of Politics: The Construction of Generational Consciousness and Identity During and in the Aftermath of Political Events -- Chapter 4: Between Prosperity and Disparity: Life Course, Aspirations, and the Economic Generations -- Chapter 5: The Loom of Progress: How the Reach and Pace of Technological Change Shape Generational Experience -- Chapter 6: Epilogue.

This book offers a compelling generational approach for understanding the intricate patterns of social change in China. While the concept of generation has been widely explored in global scholarship, Waves of Time offers a fresh contribution by introducing an integrative theoretical framework of dual temporality-capturing the intersection of historical time and individual life time in shaping generational experience, identity, and consciousness. Through this framework, the author traces how unfolding episodes of transformation-including wars, revolutions, political events, economic restructurings, technological change, and shifting state policies-have defined and redefined China's generations. The book reveals that generations are not only products of history but also active agents in remaking China's social fabric, demographic trends, labor markets, political engagement, and cultural values. Waves of Time is an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the lived rhythms of Chinese modernity or the broader dynamics of generational change. Wen Xie, a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Peking University.
