AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study is based on interviews conducted in Hong Kong of refugees from 63 villages in Guangdong Province. Focusing on village and family life during the post-Cultural Revolution period, the authors discuss the changes that occurred under socialism, which political campaigns succeeded and which did not, and why. They conclude that once rural social structure was radically transformed by land reform and collectivization, attempts at later changes were less effective as new solidarities formed whose new interests benefitted from the earlier changes, but were threatened by subsequent changes.
