Description: Village Governance in North China by Huaiyin Li Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A study of village governance in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century China that reinterprets peasant behavior, village community, and state-society relations. Publisher Description This book is about village governance in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing on government archives from Huailu county, Ilebei province, this book explores the operational realities of local practices as well as institutionally imposed 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 authors 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. Author Biography Huaiyin Li teaches modern Chinese history at the University of Texas at Austin.
