Leftover in China: The Women Shaping the World's Next Superpower by Roseann Lake

3.0

While I find the topic enthralling I feel like this book only covered the surface level of this larger, more encompassing situation in China. I wanted more full interviews and less regurgitated facts. I want to know how the women and men are really feeling. Do they even want to get married? When comparing themselves to women in other nations, especially those who studied abroad, what do they see as individualistic to China? There could have been so much more discussion with the subjects and a lot more in-depth understanding that I felt was sorely lacking. Overall, I did learn more than I new before but the anthropologist in me want more.
