<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The first two editions of <i>Chen Village </i>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, where more than 50,000 workers labor in modern factories, ruled by the village government. This new edition of <i>Chen Village </i>illuminates, in microcosm, the recent history of rural China up to the present time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book should be read by everybody interested in or working on or in China."-- "The China Journal" (2/24/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anita Chan </b>is a sociologist at the Australian National University. <b>Richard Madsen </b>is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, San Diego. <b>Jonathan Unger </b>is head of the Contemporary China Centre at the Australian National University.
