Description

This landmark English translation of Deng Yunte's classic study examines famine relief across Chinese history from ancient times through the Republican period. Deng Yunte, a respected academic, artist, and political commentator, provides richly researched analysis that explores how social and economic forces shaped famine relief in China. Originally written before Deng's tragic death during the Cultural Revolution, this work remains a unique and revealing historical text that goes beyond documenting famine to offer broader insights into Chinese society and historical methodology. Published by Cambridge University Press, this scholarly work serves as both a comprehensive historical account and an important example of twentieth-century Chinese historical scholarship.

Key Features

The History of Famine Relief in China covers famine from ancient times through the Republican period with rigorous historical research.

Deng Yunte's analysis focuses on social and economic forces that shaped famine relief policies and their impact across centuries.

This first English translation makes Deng's classic study accessible to English-language readers and scholars of Chinese history.

Cambridge University Press edition presents a significant example of mid-twentieth-century Chinese historical scholarship and methodology.

The work provides unique insights into both famine history and the intellectual traditions of modern Chinese academic study.
