4.9/5 (23060 ratings)

Description:The sent-down youth movement, a Maoist project that relocated urban youth to remote rural areas for "re-education," is often viewed as a defining feature of China's Cultural Revolution and emblematic of the intense suffering and hardship of the period. Drawing on rich archival research focused on Shanghai's youth in village settlements in remote regions, this history of the movement pays particular attention to how it was informed by and affected the critical issue of urban-rural relations in the PRC. It highlights divisions, as well as connections, created by the movement, particularly the conflicts and collaborations between urban and rural officials. Instead of chronicling a story of victims of a monolithic state, Honig and Zhao show how participants in the movement--the sent-down youth, their parents, and local government officials--disregarded, circumvented, and manipulated state policy, ultimately undermining a decade-long Maoist project.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
