This book analyses the urbanisation of rural China in the period of
the country's reform and opening-up based on an investigation of
five villages in the Pearl River Delta region, analysing progress,
problems and future prospects in the light of long-term
investigations on the ground and follow-up fieldwork. Drawing on a
vast body of data obtained from participation observation,
interviews, archival documents, questionnaires and oral histories,
the author charts the trajectory of urbanisation as rural
landscapes, governance models, social structures and development
dynamics have morphed into urban phenomena. Stimulated by outside
capital and pro-growth policies, each of the five villages has
undergone a distinct economic, social, institutional, cultural and
demographic transformation while facing challenges and
opportunities such as land requisition, residential areas with a
strong concentration of migrants, changing power relations between
state and local community, the influence of traditional lineage and
clan structures and quandaries over identity. The book will appeal
to scholars and students of sociology and Chinese Studies as well
as general readers interested in contemporary China and Chinese
urbanisation.
