Dali L. Yang is Professor and Chairman in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago.
China's Great Leap Famine of 1959-61 resulted in 30 million deaths, making it easily the worst famine in human history. Yet unlike the Cultural Revolution - that other massive catastrophe of Mao's rule - the Great Leap Forward has received scant scholarly attention. This is partly because victims of the ensuing famine were inarticulate farmers and partly because many key players in that inglorious era are members of the current elite who tightly guard the archives. Despite these impediments, the author has marshalled an impressive array of historical documents to provide the first comprehensive treatment of the political causes and consequences of the Great Leap Famine. The Famine is important because it furnished the crucial historical motives for dismantling the rural collective institutional structure in post-Mao China two decades later and motivating tens of millions of ordinary Chinese to enact the reforms.

大概是個throwback classic吧,實證上,機製太難做瞭。
评分formalistic social science 過瞭頭
评分不管論證的內容是否會被後續史料逐漸修正,故事和邏輯絕對是非常精彩的。
评分cognitive approach to institutional change. 80s reform resulted from GLF, as opposed to CR. development of TVE, change in state-society relationship
评分我認為這是要瞭解大飢荒和農村變革的不可缺少的英文文獻。這本書框架清晰,結閤瞭社科的多種研究方法,也沒有過分貪心地沉醉於曆史細節,非常適閤摘選章節給那種沒啥中國背景的學生做課後閱讀。更難能可貴的是,Yang圍繞大飢荒的産生及其政治、社會遺産講的這個故事非常完整。我信瞭。可與David Zweig的Agrarian Radicalism 配閤服用。
