In Becoming Citizens in China Shi Yunqing describes the two interlinked histories that have made China’s urban and economic miracle: the unfolding of inner city renewal and the production of citizen shaped by the collective rights defence action resulted from demolition and removal projects. She reveals a complex problematic tension on State and the fabric of the Individual in Social Transition in China. This book is extremely well-documented and produced with abundant empirical materials. In this approach of the State-Individual relationship, Shi Yunqing convincingly elaborates how citizens have been produced in urban social movements against the background of differences between Chinese and Western development histories. The production of citizens in "Chinese-style” produces insightful "located knowledge" and makes a contribution to a new global sociology and more especially to the Post-Western Sociology. __________ 在《再造城民》这本书中，施芸卿讲述了造就中国城市和经济奇迹的两段互为表里的历史：旧城的再造与公民的生产。从国家和个人之间的相互形塑出发，她展现了中国社会转型的独特逻辑。 本书有着极其详实的法律、政策文本和田野材料，以“国家-个人”关系为研究路径，施芸卿令人信服地解释了在与西方发展历史不同的中国背景下，公民如何从都市社会运动中产生。“中国式”的公民生产提供了富于洞见的本土知识，为新的全球社会学，尤其是后西方社会学研究做出了贡献。.
