AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The author examines decollectivization in peri-urban Lhasa,Tibet through Katherine Verdery's lens of 'fuzzy property,' the indistinct, ambiguous, and partial property rights that have emerged in post-socialist countries. In addition to the diversity of property forms in post-socialist China, there is a lack of individual political rights to protect a household's economic rights. Resistance against land expropriation and taxation are deemed by the local government as political protest and treated as such. Also even though households ostensibly own their own land in the new household responsibility system, local government continue to dictate what crops they sow and how labor is compensated.
