Description

Explore the first major study of the Great Leap Forward with this seminal volume from Routledge. Now translated into English for a wider audience, this work provides deep political and social answers to long-standing questions regarding the movement's impact on the Chinese countryside. Author Jean-Luc Domenach utilizes a wealth of primary material to examine how a party with a successful rural base launched a movement so disconnected from reality. The text investigates why the movement led to social chaos and economic collapse, contributing to one of the greatest famines in human history. By focusing on a specific Chinese province, this historical study offers a detailed look at the causes and consequences of this era.
