商品簡介
This classic in the annals of village studies will be widely read and debated for what it reveals about China's rural dynamics as well as the nature of state power, markets, the military, social relations, and religion. Built on extraordinarily intimate and detailed research in a Sichuan village that Isabel Crook began in 1940, the book provides an unprecedented history of Chinese rural life over the past 70 years, ranging from the Japanese occupation of eastern China to the civil war between Nationalists and Communists to the Cultural Revolution to current marketization. It will be an essential resource for all scholars of contemporary China.
