Tamara Jacka combines life histories, ethnographic storytelling and personal reflection to explore change in a village in China's Henan Province. Residents' recollections connect family life and local relationships with violence, famine, political upheaval and the transformation of rural livelihoods.
The account moves from twentieth-century experiences into the era of labour migration and expanding connections with cities and overseas destinations. Conversations and individual stories show how the past remains present in everyday life and how people understand the changes around them. This complete 2024 book preserves its maps, illustrations, source material and original publisher notices.
