The transformation in Chinese social theory in the twentieth
century placed the rural-urban divide at the centre of individual
identity. In 1500, such distinctions were insignificant and it was
the emergence of political reforms in the early 1920s and 1930s
which separated cities and towns as agents of social change and
encouraged a perception of rural backwardness. This
interdisciplinary collection traces the development and
distinctions between urban and rural life and the effect on the
Chinese sense of identity from the sixteenth century to the present
day. It provides a daunting example of the influence that political
ideology may exert on an individual's sense of place.
