From the publisher

The sources and nature of China's transformation from a traditional to a modern society--accelerated in the early twentieth century by the downfall of the Qing dynasty, the advent of foreign technology and increasing commercialization--are critical issues for the study of modern China. In this book, Xin Zhang uses the case of local elites and the power structure of Henan province, in north-central China, to demonstrate how local politics first transformed local society, challenged the state, and eventually influenced change across China.

First line

ON a hot day in July 1938, shortly after Japanese troops occupied the capital city of Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek, then the national leader of China, arrived in Wuhan two months before the city fell into the hands of the enemy.

United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press. 2000. xvi + 320pp, bibliography, index, very good copy in dustjacket. The sources and nature of China's transformation from a traditional to modern society - accelerated in the early twentieth century by the downfall of the Qing dynasty, the advent of foreign technology and increasing commercialization - are critical issues for the study of modern China. In this book, Xin Zhang uses the case of local elites and the power structure of Henan province in north-central China to demonstrate how local politics first transformed local society, challenged the state and eventually influenced change across China. Rather than focusing separately on elite mobility, social mobilization or state-making, Zhang observes changes in all three categories as interrelated aspects of a single, self-generating phenomenon of social change. Zhang's application of the most up-to-date social science theory and rich, original, empirical data, sheds new light on the sources of China's… Read more
