Chinese Peasant Study primerPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 29, 2004 11:47 AM
 The Chinese Peasant Study written by Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao was published earlier this year. Using real stories told to the authors, the book documents the misery of the average Chinese peasant's life and the corruption of many rural leaders. The authors were accused of libel by one of the officials named in the book. The verdict of the libel trial is due to be announced soon. ESWN has compiled a bank of information about the book and the trial, including many translations from Chinese sources. If you want to know more about this important case, start here and here on ESWN. If you want to buy the book in Beijing where it has been banned, you can get pirate versions on the underground passageway under Jianwai Dajie between the Scitech shopping Mall and the CITIC building. |
