ITEM OVERVIEW
More than forty years after its initial publication, Fanshen remains the essential volume for those interested in China's revolutionary process of rural reform and social change. William Hinton's pioneering work is a marvelous and revealing look into life in the Chinese countryside, where tradition and modernity have had both a complementary and caustic relationship since the Chinese Communist Party first came to power. It is a rare, concrete record of social struggle and transformation, as witnessed by a participant. Fanshen continues to offer profound insight into the lives of peasants and China's complex social processes. Rediscover this classic volume, which includes a new preface by Fred Magdoff.
