Guidi, Chen WILL THE BOAT SINK THE WATER? The Life of China's Peasants
Public Affairs Books 2006 1586483587 / 9781586483586 Hardcover; First Printing New in New dust jacket
20 oz.; 229 pages; New HC w/DJ unread/unmarked. A prize-winning investigative expose of the poverty and injustice experienced by China's 900 million peasants, told through a series of dramatic personal narrativesThe Chinese economic miracle is happening despite, not because of, China's 900 million peasants. They are missing from the portraits of booming Shanghai, or Beijing. Many of China's underclass live under a feudalistic system unchanged since the fifteenth century. They are truly the voiceless in modern China. They are also, perhaps, the reason that China will not be able to make the great social and economic leap forward, because if it is to leap it must carry the 900 million with it.
