The first generation of children born under China’s one-child family policy is now reaching adulthood. What are these children like? What are their values, goals, and interests? What kinds of relationships do they have with their families? This is the first in-depth study to analyze what it is like to grow up as the state-appointed vanguard of modernization. Based on surveys and ethnographic research in China, where the author lived with teenage only children and observed their homes and classrooms for 27 months between 1997 and 2002, the book explores the social, economic, and psychological consequences of the government’s decision to accelerate the fertility transition.
Only Hope shows how the one-child policy has largely succeeded in its goals, but with unintended consequences. Only children are expected to be the primary providers of support and care for their retired parents, grandparents, and parents-in-law, and only a very lucrative position will allow them to provide for so many dependents. Many only children aspire to elite status even though few can attain it, and such aspirations lead to increased stress and competition, as well as intense parental involvement.

Vanessa Fong (PhD,Harvard)is an anthropologist interested in how the experiences of a now partly transnational cohort of Chinese only-children and their families shed light on theories of gender, citizenship, transnationalism, migration, education, and demographic, medical, and psychological anthropology.
Her research focuses on a cohort of youth who attended the Chinese junior high and high schools where she conducted her initial fieldwork (1997–2000). Almost all members of this cohort were born under China's one-child policy, which began in 1979. She is in the early phases of a longitudinal project that follows members of this cohort throughout the course of their lives. The first phase of this project focused on how members of the cohort experienced adolescence, and was based on participant observation in schools and homes as well as on a survey of 2,273 junior high and high school students. The current phase of this project examines how members of the cohort are dealing with two kinds of life-changing processes: marriage, pregnancy, and childbearing; and study abroad in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and North America. Future phases of this project will examine how members of the cohort (in China and abroad) negotiate cultural, national, and political identities; make decisions about fertility; raise children of their own; deal with physical and psychological health issues; and try to provide economic support and medical and nursing care for their aging parents and grandparents.She is also collaborating with psychologists and sociologists on a project in Nanjing, China, examining relationships between parents' socioeconomic trajectories, parenting beliefs and practices, and child development among 414 families with infants and 710 families with adolescents.

内容总结以及一点感想(超级剧透)
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
在查资料的时候无意中发现了这套海外中国研究系列丛书,题目都非常有趣,就买了几本读读看。一方面是想从旁观者的角度看看自己身处的社会,另一方面也是想了解这些研究者的思考方式。作为一个独生子女,并且我身边大多数同龄人也是独生子女。身在其中反而很难意识到独生子女政... (展开)名字听上去就很有压力

第一章太戳笑点太出戏。作者说要进行60/80的代际比较,但仅在最后草草几笔带过。

这个理论框架真的是很奇怪了,世界体系与现代化……第五章的很多故事跟我的田野好像,但要把中国的家庭关系给讲清楚真的太难了,感觉作者也没有提炼出来什么理论化的观点。

对于90年代末城市青少年生活很仔细生动的描绘。捕捉到了「第三世界的家长和第一世界的孩子」这个很独特的时刻,其中的张力,以及青少年的状态(当然是某些青少年)。理论不是这本书的长处(没有挑战任何的现代化叙事,不过这也是在城市里主流价值),而是刺激读者回到那个独特的时间点。最后引用鲁迅「路」的那个讨论没展开挺可惜的,不过我也是后见之明。

Vanessa Fong关于中国第一代独生子女的研究可以说是中国家庭研究不能绕过去的一部人类学著作。作者在大连进行了为期5年的田野研究,从观察初高中及职业学校的学生课堂到通过作为家教老师深入学生家庭,再到与各级教育人员的交流,累计调查了100多个家庭,形成了对中国第一代独生子女的观察记录。在书中提到的一个很重要的概念是现代化过程中第三世界国家在照搬经济模型之外还不断适应所谓的“现代化文化模型”,这... Vanessa Fong关于中国第一代独生子女的研究可以说是中国家庭研究不能绕过去的一部人类学著作。作者在大连进行了为期5年的田野研究,从观察初高中及职业学校的学生课堂到通过作为家教老师深入学生家庭,再到与各级教育人员的交流,累计调查了100多个家庭,形成了对中国第一代独生子女的观察记录。在书中提到的一个很重要的概念是现代化过程中第三世界国家在照搬经济模型之外还不断适应所谓的“现代化文化模型”,这一模型的特点是少子化、加剧不平等、高失业率等等。由此产生了一系列社会问题,包括过于注重劳动效率、竞争激化的职场、过高的教育投入,从而导致生育率的降低。其实现代化过程必然会造成家庭规模变小、人口减少,但是独生子女政策则是另一种形式加快了这一进程。这对于人和社会都是极大的挑战。 (展开)

重读intro+final.起初关注的是教育问题(大连家长和学生的educational desire),但后来发现对于独生子女政策与生育转型的探讨才是此书的亮点。
