A topography of the past: shaping a township landscape in the early twentieth century -- Alliance and antagonism: family associations in an era of insecurity -- Creating a new village order: revolutionizing identity through liberation and land reform -- Getting organized: struggling with collectivism -- Village as enterprise: corporate community management in the Deng era -- A topography of the present: shaping a village landscape in the late twentieth century.

Offering a wealth of empirical data on township and village life during the pre-Communist 1930s and 1940s, the decades of collectivism, and the present era of post-Mao reforms, the author explores the historical development of a local state regime he characterizes as managerial corporatism.
