Description

Explore the complex transformation of the Chinese countryside in this academic study by Routledge. Since the post-Mao Reform Era began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Chinese economy has experienced unprecedented growth. This book examines how labor migration, rural enterprises, and globalization have ended the isolation of rural areas in Southern China. While economic statistics show an immense boom, this work asks the essential questions regarding the real-world impact of such rapid change. It investigates whether economic growth has actually led to improved livelihoods for the average Chinese person and if true development has accompanied this expansion. By looking at the transition from village to town, the text provides a deep look into whether the promise of opening to the outside world has been fulfilled for those living in the rural sectors.
