It proposes new concepts to describe social changes of rural China by comparing the contemporary rural society with the acquaintance society?the classic model for depicting the traditional Chinese society. The author?s down-to-earth fieldwork has revealed that, with a permeating gang influence, the society of rural China has actually changed in nature. Such change in social nature is summarized as ?the estrangement of acquaintances? or ?moral ambiguity?. As a result of the rural gangster?s unlawful acts of lining their pockets with national resources, rural China is going through ?rural governance involution.? In short, this book develops new models and concepts to establish a comprehensive scientific conceptual system for explaining social reality. With hard-to-come-by information and a prudent and multi-faceted analysis on a neglected topic, this book gradually reveals to the readers the true picture of rural China. 606 $aGangs 606 $aOrganized crime 606 $aRural crimes 615 0$aGangs. 615 0$aOrganized crime. 615 0$aRural crimes. 676 $a364.1066 700 $aChen$b Baifeng$01334152 702 $aJun$b Guo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910672442803321 996 $aThe Underworld of Rural China$93044746 997 $aUNINA
