‎Village Governance in North China: 1875-1936‎

‎<p>No dustjacket near fine condition hardcover clean and unmarked 339 pp.</p><p>This book is about village governance in China during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on government archives from Huailu county Hebei province it explores local practices and official systems of social control land taxation and "self government" at the village level. Its analysis of peasant behaviors bridges the gap between the rational choice and moral economy models by taking into account both material and symbolic dimensions of power and interest in the peasant community. The author's interpretation of village/state relations before 1900 transcends the state and society dichotomy and accentuates the interplay between formal and informal institutions and practices. His account of "state making" after 1900 underscores the continuity of endogenous arrangements in the course of institutional formalization and the interpenetration between official discourse and popular notions in the new process of political legitimization.</p> Stanford University Press hardcover‎
