N2  - 'Everyday Masculinities in 21st-Century China' argues that a moral dimension in Chinese masculinity is of growing significance in fast-changing China. 'Able-responsible men' - those who can create wealth and shoulder responsibilities - have replaced the 'moneyed elite' of the earlier reform-and-opening-up era as the dominant male ideal. With vivid and highly readable case studies, Wong presents a compelling account of the forces that coerce men to live up to the able-responsible standard. She demonstrates the impact this pressure has on the lives of not only boys and men, but also on women, and shows how it invites both complicit and resistant reactions
