LI HUAIYIN
Village China Under Socialism And Reform: A Micro-history 1948-2008
Stanford University Press Stanford: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. Village China Under Socialism and Reform offers a comprehensive account of rural life after the communist revolution detailing villager involvement in political campaigns since the 1950s agricultural production under the collective system family farming and non-agricultural economy in the reform and everyday life in the family and community. Li's rich examination draws on original documents from local agricultural collectives newly accessible government archives and his own fieldwork in Qin village of Jiangsu province to highlight the continuities in rural transformation. Firmly disagreeing with those who claim that recent developments in rural China represent a radical break with pre-reform sociopolitical practices and patterns of production Li instead draws a clear history connecting the current situation to ecological social and institutional changes that have persisted from the collective era. "The book is the product of impeccable scholarship a combination of rigorous archival research and extensive fieldwork. Huaiyin Li's firsthand knowledge and personal connections have enabled him to probe a village community's 'informal and often invisible structures' and he has persuasively demonstrated the critical role that those 'subinstitutions' have played in determining the direction of Party-peasant relations in Qin village a microcosm of village China during the PRC's first 60 years."�Pauline Keating The China Journal "Huaiyin Li provides a comprehensive and systematic study of rural life after the founding of PRC . the book is refreshing in its theoretical perspective compelling in its arguments and meticulous in the extensive details it presents of peasants' lives and production in rural China."�Jin Di China Quarterly "Based upon extensive use of rare local documentation as well as the author's intimate familiarity with his own local community this well-crafted analysis of rural evolutionary transformation in east-central China deserves a wide reading."�CHOICE "Drawing on intensive fieldwork in his native village Huaiyin Li's book is the first to reconstruct and analyze the grassroots political economy of a Chinese village in the Maoist and post-Mao periods. Well written and insightful it illuminates what Chinese farmers have faced in their daily lives." �Jonathan Unger Director Contemporary China Center Australian National University "Throughout the book Li skillfully interweaves contextual information and quantitative data recovered from documents rarely explored by students of contemporary China. this is a well designed and admirably executed work that sets a new standard for the study of the political economy of rural China. Readers will find it informative and inspiring."�Journal of Chinese Political Science Huaiyin Li teaches modern Chinese history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the author of Village Governance in North China 1875-1936 Stanford 2005. Stanford University Press, Stanford: 2011 paperback

The Terracotta Army Of The First Emperor Of China
Odyssey Books & Guides Hong Kong: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1974 near Xi'an in central China villagers chanced upon what has become one of the world's most astonishing finds - an 8000-man army in battle-ready formation each warrior a life-size figure in pottery made over 2200 years ago. Qin Shi Huangdi China's first emperor and founder of the Qin dynasty commissioned this massive military tableau creating an underground army to protect his voyage in the afterlife. The tomb is located in the eastern suburbs of Lintong County 22 miles east of Xi'an. It is estimated that the tomb took 38 years to build between 247 BC and 208 BC and utilized the labor of over 700000 conscripts. The emperor died in 210 BC having unified China into a central state and also laid the foundation for the Great Wall. Odyssey Books & Guides, Hong Kong: 2007 paperback

SHEN FAN
Gang Of One: Memoirs Of A Red Guard
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2004. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1966 twelve-year-old Fan Shen a newly minted Red Guard plunged happily into China's Cultural Revolution. Disillusion soon followed then turned to disgust and fear when Shen discovered that his compatriots had tortured and murdered a doctor whose house he'd helped raid and whose beautiful daughter he secretly adored. A story of coming of age in the midst of monumental historical upheaval Shen's Gang of One is more than a memoir of one young man's harrowing experience during a time of terror. It is also in spite of circumstances of remarkable grimness and injustice an unlikely picaresque tale of adventure full of courage cunning wit tenacity resourcefulness and sheer luck�the story of how Shen managed to scheme his way through a hugely oppressive system and emerge triumphant. Gang of One recounts how Shen escaped again and again from his appointed fate as when he somehow found himself a doctor at sixteen and even miraculously saved a few lives. In such volatile times however good luck could quickly turn to misfortune: a transfer to the East Wind Aircraft Factory got him out of the countryside and into another terrible trap where many people were driven to suicide; his secret self-education took him from the factory to college where friendship with an American teacher earned him the wrath of the secret police. Following a path strewn with perils and pitfalls twists and surprises worthy of Dickens Shen's story is ultimately an exuberant human comedy unlike any other. Hailing from the People's Republic of China Fan Shen is a professor at Rochester Community and Technical College in Minnesota. He has published three translated books and numerous articles in both Chinese and English. "Anyone wishing to be the architect of his or her own fortune would do well to study this amazing memoir a testament to the human spirit."�ForeWord "A compulsively readable memoir. . . . Shen's wry anecdotal storytelling style spurs one on as does the desire to see him through to his eventual triumph."�Booklist "Teens will strongly identify with Shen's maneuverings around repressive regulations."�Booklist 2004 Editors' Choice "While the general outlines of this account of growing up in Communist China will be familiar to readers of recent Chinese memoir the details can still shock and astound. . . . Shen offers a snapshot of the political wiles needed to rebel against the fate one was assigned by the party: in order to both leave the abominable and oppressive conditions and to avoid persecution Shen learned to feign political ardor fabricate spy stories to confound the watchful authorities pull strings with highly placed friends and falsify health tests. Though he might seem to overly relish these clever maneuvers Shen's portrait of the social and political climate in China is unambiguous: power rested in the hands of a few and professed loyalty to party ideologies made it unsafe to trust anyone; the only way to win was to use the party's rules to one's own ends."�Publishers Weekly University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2004 paperback
