Description

Explore a seminal study of the Great Leap Forward with this essential volume from Routledge. Originally published in another language, this work is now available in English to provide a deeper understanding of one of history's most significant periods. Jean-Luc Domenach offers a unique perspective by focusing on the case of a single Chinese province to explain the mechanics of the movement. This book addresses fundamental questions regarding how a party with a strong rural base could initiate a movement so disconnected from reality. It examines the political and social factors that led to social chaos and economic collapse, ultimately contributing to one of the largest famines in human history. By analyzing primary materials, the author provides a detailed look at the disconnect between policy and the actual conditions in the countryside. This text is a vital resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of China.
