China Along the Yellow River: Reflections on Rural Society de Cao Jinqing

China Along the Yellow River: Reflections on Rural Society: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy

Autor Cao Jinqing Traducere de Nicky Harman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2006
This text had a major impact in its original Chinese version. Reviewed in the Far East Economic Review as 'one of the richest portraits of the Chinese countryside published in the reform era', it charts a long journey through the hinterland region of the Yellow River undertaken by the author between 1994 and 1996. It examines in exhaustive detail the lives and work of peasants, Party and local government officials, providing a wealth of data on the nature of life in post-reform rural China. The author argues that global integration is but the latest 'great leap forward' in a succession of reforms over a hundred years.

Recenzii

'Cao Jinqing has excelled in providing and guiding a hugely important conversation which will, as a result of his book, extend far beyond the peasant houses, Party schools and government offices of rural Henan.' - China Review
'This book draws attention to the negative aspects of China's reform process and provides an interesting and vivid portrait of rural society in interior China in the 1990s' - Genia Kostka, Asian Affairs, 2008

'Cao Jinqing has excelled in provoking and guiding a hugely important conversation which will, as a result of his book, extend far beyond the peasant houses, Party schools and government offices of rural Henan.' - China Review
'Noteworthy for the author's astute observations and frank crituque of the bureaucratic structure of rural life... This book would be well used in graduate courses with a focus on rural China in any of the social science disciplines, or in social science methods courses preparing students to do fieldwork in the contemporary world.' - China Review International
'Harman and Huang present an engaging text, reflecting both the anecdotal style of Cao's diary and the importance of his observations...this book is an excellent companion-piece to other local studies, and reinforces research on rural poverty, corruption, conflict and a broad range of political and economic issues.' - The China Journal
