Synopsis

This book argues that future generations of modernity as a whole will shape participatory modernization whether Chinese modernization or Western modernization. The public discourse is inundated with the good and the bad modern events with the acceleration of globalization.

This book debates that the biggest question in the twenty-first century is not who will dominate, touting a new world order upon us, but rather that it is the orientation of modernization that haunts our daily realities. This book explores the idea that life is not about living for an identity in any society, it is about the demands for dignity and safety. It goes further to state that there is also a demand for the power of being, and these three elements are beyond identities as modernization moves forward. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book uses theories, data, and philosophy as toolboxes to align with microrealities around the globe. Witnessing modernization and modernizing identities in China and in Australia beyond day by day, the author provides a more suitable, more realistic, and possibly, more nuanced perspective.

This book will be of interest to professionals, students, academics, as well as businesspeople with China experience, interested in modernization and identity, the Chinese perspective, and the new generation of Chinese.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Yunrui Deng was born and raised by a middle-class family in Sichuan Province, Southwest China. She holds a Master of Communication (for Development/Social Change) degree from the University of Queensland, Australia. Fluent in the Sichuan dialect plus bilingual in both English and Mandarin Chinese, she is of the view that it is significant to hear different angles from different generations and backgrounds. Her independent ideas in her first book vis-à-vis identity and modernization provide a unique angle with Western mindset and Chinese reasoning for the international audience as a new generation of Chinese born in the late 1990s. Yunrui’s research interests are modernization and identity, Chinese modernization, and communication for development/social change.
