Description

Explore one of the most significant yet understudied periods in modern history with Calamity and Reform in China: State, Rural Society, and Institutional Change Since the Great Leap Famine. Published by Stanford University Press, this work examines the devastating Great Leap Famine of 1959-61, an era that resulted in 30 million deaths. While other catastrophes of the Mao era have received significant attention, this book addresses the scholarly gap regarding the famine and its impact on rural society. The author uses an impressive array of historical documents to overcome the challenges of restricted archives and the lack of voice from the victims. This text provides a comprehensive look at the institutional changes and the relationship between the state and rural society following this massive human tragedy.
