Description: "This book offers the first systematic account of how intergenerational dependence is redefining the Chinese family. The authors make a collective effort to go beyond the conventional model of filial piety to explore the rich, nuanced, and often unexpected new intergenerational dynamics. The book is an essential read for scholars and students of China studies in particular and for those who are interested in the present-day family and kinship in general"--
