"This study focuses on the politics of memory in the village of Dachuan in northwest China, in which 85 % of the villagers are surnamed Kong and believe themselves to be descendants of Confuscius. I recounts both how this proud community was subjected to intense suffering during the Maoist era, culminating in its forcible resettlement in December 1960 to make way for the construction of a major hydroelectric dam, and how the village eventually sought recovery through the commemoration of that suffering and the revival of a redefined religion." from the jacket flap.

Hardbound. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. First Edition. A study of the village of Dachuan, in Gansu Province, over 80 percent of the members of which claim descent from Confucius. The community had long promoted homage to Confucian beliefs and suffered particularly severely during Mao Zedong's demonizing of China's ancient traditions. This was followed by the further disaster of the forcible resettlement of the community due to the construction of a huge hydroelectric dam, resulting in the destruction of the entire village and its ancient Confucian temple. The author documents the struggle of the community to rebuild both physically and spiritually, from the 1980s onward, as China shifted to more pragmatic leadership and Confucian beliefs were gradually rehabilitated. New in shrinkwrap. x, 217 pp., 18 b&w photos, 2 maps, notes, references, index. Size: 22 x 14 cm.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. This study focuses on the politics of memory in the village of Dachuan in northwest China, in which 85 percent of the villagers are surnamed Kong and believe themselves to be descendants of Confucius. It recounts both how this proud community was subjected to intense suffering during the Maoist era, culminating in its forcible resettlement in December 1960 to make way for the construction of a major hydroelectric dam, and how the village eventually sought recovery through the commemoration of that suffering and the revival of a redefined religion. Before 1949, the Kongs had dominated their area because of their political influence, wealth, and, above all, their identification with Confucius, whose precepts underlay so much of the Chinese ethical and political tradition. After the Communists came to power in 1949, these people, as a literal embodiment of the Confucian heritage, became prime targets for Maoist political campaigns attacking the traditional order, from land reform to the "Criticize Confucius" movement. Many villagers were arrested, three were beheaded, and others died in labor camps. When the villagers were forced to hastily abandon their homes and the village temple, they had time to disinter only the bones of their closest family members; the tombs of earlier generations were destroyed by construction workers for the dam.…
