Description

China Modernization in the 1980s explores the complex interplay between China's elite and local society during a period of significant cultural and historical transformation.

The discovery of the role of religion in Chinese state-making and local society has significantly altered our understanding of Chinese culture and history. This book represents a pioneering attempt to integrate top-down and bottom-up views of Chinese society, culture, and history, drawing on extensive fieldwork by John Lagerwey.

Of interest to China specialists, students of religion and popular culture, as well as those involved in the interdisciplinary dialogue between historians and anthropologists, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating periods in modern Chinese history.
