History多样的现代化:一个苏南村庄的“集体主义”史(1950~2017)
Chen Jiajian
Rural "collectivism" is practiced in rural areas of China. Village collectives own the means of production and organize the social system of production and life. Since its inception, "collectivism" has become the most basic form of existence in contemporary rural society, and it has been influential to this day. It is a key factor affecting China's rural changes. This book analyzes a long-term village historical experience and examines the complete transformation process of contemporary rural "collectivism." Through the study of historical processes, this book proposes that rural collectivism is a process of continuous construction under the provisions of two core systems of organization and property rights. This process shapes the diversity of modern rural development paths.
