The sources and nature of China's transformation from a traditional
to modern society - accelerated in the early twentieth century by
the downfall of the Qing dynasty, the advent of foreign technology
and increasing commercialization - are critical issues for the
study of modern China. In this book, Xin Zhang uses the case of
local elites and the power structure of Henan province in
north-central China to demonstrate how local politics first
transformed local society, challenged the state and eventually
influenced change across China. Rather than focusing separately on
elite mobility, social mobilization or state-making, Zhang observes
changes in all three categories as interrelated aspects of a
single, self-generating phenomenon of social change. Zhang's
application of social science theory and rich, original, empirical
data, sheds light on the sources of China's modernization,
political and social identity, and the shifting relationship
between the state and local elites.
