Reviews
"Kipnis successfully engages with how despair, hope, expectations and bitterness shape the lives of his interlocutors in Zouping and how these conditions unfold within the processes of spatial transformation." * New Books Asia *
"From Village to City is a refreshing change from the majority of studies of Chinese cities, which are still focused on large metropolises. Moreover, the theoretical insights are a valuable contribution to understanding how Chinese urbanization, unprecedented around the world in its scale and speed, incorporates and reworks historical tradition, rather than simply obliterating it." * Journal of Asian Studies *
"This is a terrific book; one that should be on the shelves of every scholar interested in China's rapid social transformation." * China Quarterly *
"Stands out as a must-read text in the anthropology of China and urban studies. . . . Ideal for use in undergraduate classes in anthropology, East Asian studies, and urban studies." * Anthropological Quarterly *
