Description

Book Synopsis
Includes four conceptual and critical essays on state and society in contemporary China that argue vigorously against the grain of prevailing scholarly interpretation. This title argues that the party/state under Mao fell far short of the full control over China's peasant society that outside observers often assumed it had achieved.
