| Description: |
The common Western image of China is confined to the cities of the country's wealthy east coast. But what does the country look like to the Chinese from the vast hinterland? This text reflects on the realities of people in China's interior regions in the 50 years after Communist takeover. |
| Synopsis: |
This engaging book sketches compelling portraits of contemporary life in Guizhou, one of China's poorest provinces, more than fifty years after the Communist revolution promised to change the lives of the country's rural and urban dwellers. Through an exploration of local history, economic disparity, migrant labor, village life, civil society, education, poverty, local governance, enterprise reform, the rebirth of religion, and the new-found wealth of a privileged few, this perceptive study allows readers a unique glimpse into the lives and perspectives of China's hidden majority. |
