Exploring one of the most dynamic and contested regions of the
world, this series includes works on political, economic, cultural,
and social changes in modern and contemporary Asia and the Pacific.
The leading specialist on China's twentieth century peasant
resistance reexamines, in bold and original ways, the question: Was
the Chinese peasantry a revolutionary force? Where most scholarly
attention has focused on Communist-led peasant movements, Bianco's
story is one of peasant thought and action largely unmediated by
modern political parties. This volume pays particular attention to
the first half of the twentieth century when peasant-based
conflict, ranging from tax and food protests to secret society
conflicts, opium struggles, inter-communal conflicts, and tenant
protests over rent, was central to nationwide revolutionary
processes.
