About this product
Product Information
Can Science and Technology Save China? assesses the intimate connections between science and society in China, offering an in-depth look at how an array of sciences and technologies are being made, how they are interfacing with society, and with what effects. Focusing on critical domains of daily life, the chapters explore how scientists, technicians, surgeons, therapists, and other experts create practical knowledges and innovations, as well as how ordinary people take them up as they pursue the good life. Editors Greenhalgh and Zhang offer a rare, up-close view of the politics of Chinese science-making, showing how everyday logics, practices, and ethics of science, medicine, and technology are profoundly reshaping contemporary China. By foregrounding the notion of "governing through science," and the contested role of science and technology as instruments of change, this timely book addresses important questions regarding what counts as science in China, what science and technology can do to transform China, as well as their limits and unintended consequences.

Reviews
This is a prescient and impressively coherent collection of essays based on a workshop held at Harvard University in. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the contributors--all but one of whom are anthropologists--address crucial questions about the relationship between science and the party-state, broader issues of governmentality, as well as China's status as a (bio)tech superpower., It not only will fill in the gap in the literature but also is a very unique scholarship that examines the science question--the role of science in the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation or the fulfillment of China dream--at the center of the study of contemporary Chinese society., Some of the topics are incredibly original and demonstrate the vitality of this emerging field. This edited volume is a very important contribution to studies of China's science and technology.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
