Reviews for Rents, Taxes, and Peasant Resistance: The Lower Yangzi Region, 1840-1950
This is a pathbreaking achievement. It presents insights that will be important to scholars interested in a wide variety of problems: rural society, the nature of elite power, modern state-formation, and collective action. This very important book will fundamentally influence our thinking on these problems for a long time.'Joseph W. Esherick, University of California, San Diego
