Product Information

Thaxton analyzes how the local Communist Party agents of the Mao-led central government imposed the famine of the Great Leap Forward on one rural village, how villagers remember this traumatic experience, and how they engaged in resistance to escape the famine and the predatory rule it reflected.

'… Thaxton is very good at tracking the shifts of power and influence in the small community he is studying, and the phases through which these went. … bold and profound …' The Royal Society for Asian Affairs, "Having gained extraordinary access to hitherto unavailable sources in rural China, Ralph Thaxton has written a path-breaking book which continues a career of important scholarship aimed at exploring the vicissitudes of popular responses to painful traumas and cruel local officials. A major work." -Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin, "This book is a major achievement. Based on more than 20 years of field research, it paints a vivid picture of how the Great Leap Forward was experienced in one village. It shows that enforcement of policies disastrous for villagers precipitated bitter conflicts between peasants seeking to protect their customary family entitlements and brutal and cruel cadres who did the bidding of a regime blinded by utopian dreams, hubris and fanaticism. Thaxton places this rivetting story in the context of the history of the village from the l930s on and of the decades since the collapse of the Leap. This enables him convincingly to show that violence and brutality were deeply embedded in earlier revolutionary processes. And it enables him to argue provocatively that the legacies of Great Leap abuses continue to inform the mentalities of villagers to this day." -Thomas P.Bernstein, Professor emeritus, Columbia University, "This is a remarkable study of a Chinese village and county, based on in-depth on-site research. The farmers in this region experienced the darker side of the Chinese revolution, and Ralph Thaxton's devastating, intriguing account vividly brings to life their trials and travails from the 1950s up into the post-Mao 'reform era'." -Jonathan Unger, Director, Contemporary China Center, Australian National University, "Catastrophe and Contention in Rural China offers an all-too-rare picture of what it was like for peasants to survive the Great Famine caused by the Great Leap. Thaxton's volume is an iconic and deeply arresting account of mass starvation, trauma and suffering, but also of endurance and resistance. This is a work of real importance that will be influential with China scholars and scholars of catastrophe and resistance generally. A strong achievement!" -Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University, "This excellent book adds to the literature on the causes, events, and consequences of Mao's disastrous policies, which created famine, then civil war...Highly Recommended" Choice, '... Thaxton is very good at tracking the shifts of power and influence in the small community he is studying, and the phases through which these went. ... bold and profound ...' The Royal Society for Asian Affairs, "...a horrifying and convincing condemnation of the Maoist programs that during the Great Leap Forward caused starvation among the rural population between 1959 and 1961 and beyond. Over almost twenty years Thaxton interviewed four hundred residents of Da Fo, in Henan province, people who had been traumatized by years of famine, humiliation, torture, and death....If there is another book that shows more profoundly how Mao, whose portrait still hangs in Tiananmen Square, inflicted disaster on a particular place, I haven't read it." Jonathan Mirsky, The New York Review of Books, 'This is a micro history, and it will be up to future studies to find commonalities with other parts of rural China. Yet the insight we gain from Da Fo village into the nature of state-society interactions significantly challenges previous interpretations of that relationship, making this book required reading for scholars and students of modern Chinese history.'
