Revolution, Resistance, and Reform in Village China by Edward Friedman
Drawing on more than a quarter century of field and documentary research in rural North China, this book explores the contested relationship between village and state from the 1960s to the start of the twenty-first century. It also captures the struggles, pains and achievements of villagers across three generations of social upheaval.
"'The magnificent culmination of a 25-year study of a single village in northern China whose two volumes now stand as the best single narrative of China's violent 20th century.. The crowning achievement of Revolution, Resistance, and Reform, building on a predecessor volume Chinese Village, Socialist State is to show how little has changed between prereform-era China. By tracing the village of Wugong since 1943, the authors show convincingly that the twin forces or revolution and reform have been constants since 1949." Bruce Gilley, Far Eastern Economic Review"
