This book presents a study in educational sociology, exploring the
function of rural schools, which are a symbol of the state in rural
society, in a time characterized by local cultural transition. The
book begins with an investigation of the status quo, background and
history of a representative rural school, Fengning Hope Elementary
School, and gives a definition of "the 'states' in villages."
Subsequently, on the basis of research on the teachers, an analysis
of the courses taught, and comparison to other rural elementary
schools of the same type, it reveals the dual status of rural
schools and their relation with social development in rural areas.
Based on thorough fieldwork and empirical research, the book
provides a new vision of the interactive relation between the state
and rural society, particularly focusing on the role of rural
education in that relation. In addition, it explores the reshaping
of Chinese culture and the part that intellectuals play in the
process of today's cultural transition. For English-language
readers and Western professionals, this translated version will
offer an essential window into Chinese studies from a local point
of view.
