But what happens to those "lucky" few at the very top of the pyramid: elite university students in China who grew up under the One Child Policy and now attend the nation's most prestigious universities? How do they feel about having made it to the top of an extremely competitive educational system--as their parents' only child? What pressures do they face, and how do they cope with the expectations associated with being the best? Fragile Elite explores the contradictions and perplexities of being an elite student through immersive ethnographic research conducted at two top universities in China. Susanne Bregnbæk uncovers the intimate psychological strains students suffer under the pressure imposed on them by parents and state, where the state acts as a parent and the parents reinforce the state. Fragile Elite offers fascinating insights into the intergenerational tensions at work in relation to the ongoing shift in educational policy and definition of what a "quality" student, child, and citizen is in contemporary China. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Beijing da xue|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80030740|xStudents.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005819 610 20 Qing hua da xue (Beijing, China)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80118481|xStudents.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh00005819 610 27 Beijing da xue.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/542276 610 27 Qing hua da xue (Beijing, China)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/549020 610 27 Bei jing da xue.|2gnd 610 27 Qing hua da xue|gPeking.|2gnd 650 0 College students|zChina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009120664|zBeijing|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79076155-781|xSocial conditions.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 0 College students|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85028356|xFamily relationships|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005369|zChina|zBeijing.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79076155-781 650 0 Education, Higher|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009124643|zChina|zBeijing.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79076155-781 650 7 College students.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 867976 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 College students|xFamily relationships.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/868006 650 7 Education, Higher|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/903107 651 7 China|zBeijing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205740 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBregnbæk, Susanne.|tFragile elite. |dStanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2016 |z9780804796071|w(DLC) 2015017617|w(OCoLC)908699013 830 0 Anthropology of policy. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1115876|zOnline eBook.
