Produktinformationen zu „Village Life In China (ePub)“
the urban West, it is easy to forget that most of the world's population still lives in villages, and despite increasing globalization it remains true that many countries can best be understood on the village level. The most striking example is China where, in the face of the political and economic upheavals of the last century, the local village units and networks retain their importance. Written during the last days of Imperial China, this pioneering study is remarkable for its detailed descriptions and the freshness of its observations, which are applicable today despite the veneer of modernity. Every facet and institution of village life is revealed - local officials, cooperative loan societies, crop watching societies, the tradition of rigorous instruction, the dedication of men and women to labour from childhood, the drudgery of family life.What emerges clearly is what Smith calls the 'Chinese talent for cooperation' - the embedded predisposition for acting in groups - which Chairman Mao used to great advantage, has outlived the Maoist movement, and is the foundation on which the new China is being built. This unique study is essential reading for those interested in China's history and its future.
