Chen village under Mao and Deng.

"Chen Village", the account of a Chinese village in the throes of the Maoist revolution, has become a modern classic. The authors have since returned to Chen Village to bring the village's story up to date. "Chen Village Under Mao and Deng" includes not only the bulk of the original text of "Chen Village", but also three new chapters on village life under Deng: descriptions of the village leader's purge, the rapid industrialization of the district, an alienated "lost generation" of young peasants and the new village officials' legal and illegal efforts at self-enrichment.
