Fate and Fortune in Rural China is a major contribution to the
study of both the social and population history of late traditional
China, and that of historical demography in general. Lee and
Campbell use the example of Liaoning to demonstrate the interaction
between demographic and other social pressures, and to illustrate
graphically the nature of social mobility and social organization
in rural China over the course of the century from 1774-1873. Their
conclusion - that social norms, rooted in ideology, determined
demographic performance - is supported by a mass of hitherto
inaccessible primary data. The authors show how the Chinese state
articulated two different principles of social hierarchy, heredity
and ability, through two different social organizations: households
and banners. These different boundary conditions, each the explicit
creation of the state, gave rise to contrasting demographic
behaviour.
