Features: This book has won the John K. Fairbank Prize from the American Historical Association. Professor Kathugn Bennhandt of the University of California, Los Angeles, "Land Rent, Taxation, and Peasant Resistance in the Lower Yangtze Region, 1840-1950," is a seminal work. The book is well-documented, beautifully written, and its close, meticulous observation has changed readers' perceptions of the Lower Yangtze region in China. The author's reinterpretation of the economic, social, and political history of the past century is highly persuasive. Her speculative analysis provides fresh insights into the study of state-society relations in the process of early 20th-century modern state formation.
