Description

cloth in dj Price Intact. 394 pages. Long caricatured as a land of stagnant traditions or lockstep Maoist conformity, China today is a country on the move - literally. China's new migrant labor pool, known as the "blind river," logs in more road miles and piecework hours than any other workforce in the world - but also mentally and spiritually, as more and more Chinese search for some new faith, whether Maoist, Buddhist, humanist, or laissez-faire - to fill in where decaying Party ideology leaves off. The new China, where religious pilgrims cross paths with born-again capitalists and uprooted communards, is a chaos of true believers pursuing different, often conflicting, visions of fulfillment. Never read or open. ISBN: 0374299986
