WILL THE BOAT SINK THE WATER?: THE LIFE OF CHINA'S PEASANTS by CHEN, GUIDI (Paperback - 2006)
ISBN: 9781586484187
Subject: CHINA
Publisher: PUBLICAFFAIRS LTD USA

The Chinese economic miracle is happening despite, not because of, China・s 900 million peasants. They are missing from the portraits of booming Shanghai or Beijing. Many of China・s underclass live under a feudal system unchanged since the fifteenth century. They are the voiceless in modern China.Chinese journalists Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao returned to Chen・s home province of Anhui, one of China・s poorest, to undertake a three-year study of how the peasants fared there, asking the question: Have the peasants, in whose name the revolution in China was undertaken, been betrayed by Mao and his successors? The result is a captivating narrative of life among the 900 million, and a vivid portrait of the petty dictators that dominate China・s villages and counties.
