Fateful Decisions
Work and Family Life among Migrant Factory Workers in China and Vietnam
Through on-site interviewing, a comparative study has been carried out about migrant factory workers in industrialised parts of China?s Guangdong province and in Vietnam?s Ho Chi Minh City. Even though China and Vietnam possess similar legacies of socialist transformation and have household registration regulations that restrict rural migrants? access to urban social services and impede their settlement in cities, there exist marked differences i…
Chinese migrant factory workers across four decades
Today about 90 million urban Chinese factory workers are migrant workers from the countryside, comprising the largest and most rapidly expanded industrial working class in history. Before the mid-2000s, these workers from the countryside were employed only temporarily in factories, and almost all were young, very poorly paid and exploited. But as labor shortages have developed and as restrictions against residing in China’s cities have relaxed, t…
The Nature of Chinese Politics: From Mao to Jiang
This book describes and analyzes how politics among the Chinese leadership has operated and evolved from the period of Mao's court up to the present day. Part I explores politics under Mao and Deng. For this section the five leading western analysts of elite Chinese politics -- Lowell Dittmer, Lucian Pye, Frederick Teiwes, Andrew Nathan, and Tsou Tang -- have contributed major papers that measure the empirical evidence against political science t…
Chinese Nationalism
Using the Past to Serve the Present
An historiographical examination of the political debates of the 1980s over despotism in Chinese history and over Party history. The extent of popular culture and its reinterpretation of history is also assessed, as governmental control of the media has decreased

Deliberative Democracy at China's Grassroots
Dictatorial China contains vivid examples of grassroots deliberative democracy on issues vital to local participants. Three elements in our case studies are relevant to programs of deliberative, participatory decision making elsewhere in the world. First, the Chinese examples have all occurred within longstanding communities. Second, the members of these communities have faced concrete issues of a type they felt they had the knowledge to resolve.…
The Cultural Revolution Warfare at Beijing's Universities Fractured Rebellion
Chen Village
The first two editions of Chen Village presented an enthralling account of a Chinese village in the throes of Maoist revolution followed by dramatic changes in village life and local politics during the Deng Xiaoping period. Now, more than a decade and a half later, the authors have returned to Chen Village, and in three new chapters they explore astonishing developments. The once-backwater village is today a center of China's export industry, wh…

The Nature of Chinese Politics
This study examines the political culture in Austria-Hungary in the latter half of the 19th century. It analyzes the centrifugal forces that arose from growing ethnic nationalism in the empire and that ultimately overpowered the centripetal forces which held the Austrian-Hungarian state idea together. The analysis is applied further to provide an historical explanation of analogous developments in post-1989 Europe

State and Peasant in Post-Revolution China
The Reach of the State: Sketches of the Chinese Body Politic, by Vivienne Shue. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1988. Pp.ix + 175. $25. This new book by Vivienne Shue posits that the reach of the Maoist state in the Chinese countryside was very short indeed: that the state never decisively penetrated the Chinese village and its peasant mentality. This review article challenges Shue's claims, and provides evidence to show that the Maoist …
The Decollectivization of the Chinese Countryside
CHINA'S RECENT MOVE away from collective agriculture has affected very dramatically the lives of three-quarters of a billion people. It may well constitute the single most important policy shift in China since the introduction of collectives in the mid-1950s. The restoration of family farming has been so recent, however, that a whole range of simple questions remain as yet unanswered. Did the peasantry play any role in deciding whether their vill…

Grey and Black
A HIDDEN ECONOMY of very substantial size exists in the Chinese countryside, lying beyond the reaches of state plans and official statistics. At its outermost margins, this hidden economy includes blackmarketing and criminal activities. But most of the hidden economy has tended to occupy a considerable zone of semi-legality: though illegal on paper, it has been important to the rural economy's smooth functioning and, therefore, has been openly to…
The Internal Politics of an Urban Chinese Work Community
Not quite Han
In centuries to come, when historians look back at the history of southwest China, they will see the last half of the twentieth century not so much as the time of “socialist construction,” but rather as the age in which the various peoples of that vast region increasingly adapted to Han Chinese lifestyles. For this is the real—the lasting—story of the past five decades in this part of China. The tidal surges of collectivization and Maoist politic…
Whither China
In early 1968, an 18-year-old high school student in Hunan province composed a short essay that made him famous across China-and led to his imprisonment for the next ten years. His name was Yang Xiguang, and what gave rise to his notoriety was his proclamation that the major conflict in China was not between Mao's supporters and enemies, nor between China's proletariat and the former wealthy, but rather between a red capitalist class, akin in man…

The Chinese Controversy Over Higher Education
THE CURRENT CHINESE leadership has been particularly vehement in its denunciations of the radical experiments in higher education of the early 1970s. No other single issue gained equal attention in the 1977-78 campaign to pillory the Gang of Four, and no other sphere of governmental activity since Mao's death was so quick to be overhauled. This ought not to have been surprising, since even before Mao's death the controversy among the leadership o…

Life in the Chinese hinterlands under the rural economic reforms
Some of the poorest peasant households in one of China's inland provinces are being hurt by current government policies toward agriculture. This is the distinct impression obtained during two months of travel and research in Yunnan Province during mid-1988. As consultants to an international development project, we had an opportunity to explore the hill districts of northern Yunnan in a four-wheel drive, free to conduct interviews with grass-root…

Students and Class Warfare
Until recent years, scholars of modern China had generally assumed that in the Cultural Revolution violence of 1966–68 young people were almost arbitrarily joining one or the other of the opposing Red Guard groups. Only within the past few years have researchers begun to unveil the antagonism among students early in the Cultural Revolution over “class” issues and the resulting differences in the composition, tactics and goals of the Red Guard fac…
