About this copy
A landmark study of rural China, Chen Village draws on detailed interviews with twenty-six villagers now living in Hong Kong to trace two turbulent decades of revolution from the grass roots. From the collapse of the Great Leap Forward through the Cultural Revolution and the Cleansing of the Class Ranks, the authors follow one South China farming community as it responds to the dictates of the revolutionary government. Praised by Ezra F. Vogel as the best village study of China before or after 1949, it is a fascinating and beautifully written account that remains essential reading for anyone interested in modern China.
This copy is a handsome hardback in its original dust jacket, with bright colour and a clean, tight binding. The jacket shows light edge wear and is priced $19.95 on the front flap.
