Politically motivated intellectuals, both Communist and non-Communist, believed that rural peasants and their villages would be at the heart of change during this long period of national crisis. Nevertheless, intellectuals saw themselves as the true shapers of change who would transform and use the peasantry. Han uses intellectuals' writings to provide a comprehensive look at their views of the peasantry. He shows how intellectuals with varying politics created images of the peasant—a supposed contemporary image and an ideal image of the peasant transformed for political ends, how intellectuals theorized on the nature of Chinese rural life, and how intellectuals conceived their own relationships with peasants.SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture.PeasantsChinaPeasant uprisingsChinaPeasantsPeasant uprisings305.5/633/095109041Han Xiaorong1963-1805394MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971685003321Chinese discourses on the peasant, 1900-19494353961UNINA
