Bibliography
First hailed as an anti-colonial hero, he later antagonized students and intellectuals by his attempts to rid the country of Eurocentric knowledge. Society and the State, Economy, Environment, Business, Demography, Work and the Workplace, Labor, Immigration/Migration, Popular Culture, Class, Rural/Agricultural, Urban/Suburban, Region, Sex and Gender, Race, Religion, Leisure, Crime and Justice, Social Movements, Children, Family, Youth Culture, War and Society, Violence and Protest, Radicalism and Reform, Conservatism, Health, Housing, and Transportation. Dr Charney explores key themes, such as the political division between lowland and highland Burma, Buddhist monastic opposition to state control, the chronic failure to foster economic prosperity, the economic and political dependency on the People's Republic of China, and the ways in which the military has exerted its control over the country, including the house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the pro-democracy movement. Based on interviews and records from his own rural county in the Shandong province, the author aims to show that the Cultural Revolution helped overthrow local hierarchies, establish participatory democracy and economic planning in the rural communes, and expand education and public services, and led to dramatic improvements in quality of life, infrastructure, and agricultural practices in rural China.
