Description

This scholarly work by Routledge examines the transformation of traditional craft production in Dongyang County, Zhejiang Province, tracing the journey of artisan furniture makers and woodcarvers from Hong Kong expatriate communities back to their native region during China's economic reform period. The book builds on research initiated in the early 1970s, offering an in-depth analysis of how the same craftspeople adapted their skills and production methods under entirely different socio-economic conditions within communist China. Part of the Studies on Contemporary China series, this used book in good condition provides valuable insights into flexible production systems, entrepreneurial adaptation, and the intersection of traditional craftsmanship with modern economic transformation in post-reform China.
