Description

Explore the dramatic transformation of rural Chinese communities during the post-Mao Reform Era with this Routledge publication. Since the late 1970s, China's economy has undergone unprecedented growth driven by labour migration, rural enterprises, and globalisation. Yet this scholarly work asks critical questions: has economic boom translated to improved livelihoods for ordinary Chinese people? Does development truly follow economic growth? This anthropological and sociological examination investigates whether the promise of opening to the outside world has genuinely benefited rural populations in Southern China. Through detailed village case studies, the book provides nuanced insight into how local communities experience the tension between macro-economic statistics and lived reality, offering readers a grounded perspective on China's transformation and its social consequences.
