China's Gentry : Essays on Rural-Urban Relations, Paperback / softback Book

China's Gentry : Essays on Rural-Urban Relations Paperback / softback

Edited by Margaret Park Redfield

Part of the Emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith series

Paperback / softback

Description

These seven essays on the structure of Chinese society are based on articles contributed by Fei to Chinese newspapers in 1947 and 1948.

Six case histories from a study of the gentry by Yung-teh Chow are appended. "The chief interest and charm of this book lie in the fact that it is not directed to the Western reader; these were studies written in Chinese, by an erudite Chinese, for a Chinese public. . . . Mrs. Redfield is to be complimented for her own careful research in preparing this translation for a non-Chinese public."—Robert F.

Spencer, American Anthropologist
