Introduction: Socialist industrialization, deskilling, and reducing the gap between mental and manual labor in China
How to Make a Mao Suit: Clothing the People of Communist China, 1949-1976
State Socialism and the Rural Household: How Women's Handloom Weaving (and Pig-Raising, Firewood-Gathering, Food-Scavenging) Subsidized Chinese Accumulation
Massive, rapid capital accumulation is usually associated with capitalist development, but historically, socialist states were among the most aggressive accumulators. Accumulation in Maoist China was faster than even in Stalin's Soviet Union, despite the fact that China was a much poorer country with fewer natural resources. China's accumulation rate, defined as the ratio of gross capital formation to gross national income, reached twenty-five to…
Bound Feet, Young Hands: Tracking the Demise of Footbinding in Village China, written by Laurel Bossen and Hill Gates, 2017
Maoism at the Grassroots: Everyday Life in China's Era of High Socialism
Maoism at the Grassroots challenges state-centered views of China under Mao, providing insights into the lives of citizens across social strata, ethnicities, and regions. It reveals how ordinary people risked persecution and imprisonment in order to assert personal beliefs and identities, despite political repression and surveillance
Le « socialisme réel » à l'épreuve du genre
Depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, on a un peu oublié comment vivaient les femmes et les hommes dans les pays dirigés par des partis communistes et communément appelés du « socialisme réel ». Ce numéro, qui offre des contributions sur l’URSS, la Mongolie, divers États d’Europe de l’Est après 1945, la Chine et Cuba, tente de répondre à deux questions : comment et jusqu’où le socialisme, porteur d’une utopie égalitaire, a-t-il modifié les rapports d…
Moins pour plus: Surtravail des femmes rurales et sous-consommation dans la Chine de Mao
Pour des raisons pratiques autant qu'idéologiques, les États socialistes ont souhaité la pleine participation des femmes au travail, qui supposait leur libération des tâches ménagères dévoreuses de temps. Ils ont, pour la plupart, passé un contrat social implicite avec leurs populations féminines : les femmes à l'usine et au champ, en échange d'une réduction des tâches domestiques, soit à travers leur socialisation, soit par la fourniture de prod…
Women's Work and the Politics of Homespun in Socialist China, 1949–1980
For decades after the socialist revolution, people in rural China continued to wear homespun cloth, and millions of rural women continued to spend a large part of their waking hours producing cloth and clothing. This is puzzling because the state opposed manual cloth production as wasteful of labor and raw materials, and because state monopolies should have ensured that all cotton ended up in the hands of the state and that all rural people were …
Craft Knowledge at the Interface of Written and Oral Cultures
How did artisans in late imperial and Republican China reproduce technical knowledge, what role did writing play in knowledge reproduction, and to which extent did literate and oral knowledge cultures meet? This article looks at these questions from two angles: it reconstructs tacit, oral, and literate modes of knowledge transmission among artisans (in particular papermakers) in the nineteenth and twentieth century, and it looks at the production…

De-Industrialization in the Chinese Countryside: Handicrafts and Development in Jiajiang (Sichuan), 1935 to 1978
Rural industrialization is often seen as a characteristic feature of Chinese socialism, under both Mao and his successors. It is less often recognized that rural industrialization did not start from scratch: the pre-1949 Chinese countryside was already industrialized to a considerable degree, though most rural industries were unmechanized “proto-industries” – small-scale, decentralized, and household-based. Modernizing governments, including both…
