First published: 1998
Description: Building on ethnographic research in a rural village in Sichuan, China's most populous province, this book examines changing relationships between social organization, politics, and economy during the twentieth century.

Offering a wealth of empirical data on township and village life during the pre-Communist 1930s and 1940s, the decades of collectivism, and the present era of post-Mao reforms, the author explores the historical development of a local state regime he characterizes as managerial corporatism.
