Abstract

A portentous tale of rural rebellion unfolds in Bruce Gilley's moving chronicle of a village on the northern China plains during the post-1978 economic reform era. Gilley examines how Daqiu Village, led by Yu Zuomin, a charismatic Communist Party secretary and president of the local industrial conglomerate, became the richest village in China and a model for the rural reforms of the 1980's and early 1990's. A growing campaign of political resistance led to increasing tensions between the villagers and the Chinese state, and eventually, in an event that made headlines around the world, an armed confrontation between the village and higher authorities backed by paramilitary police brought Yu Zuomin and his village crashing down.

Abstract

La violence et la peur font tellement partie de nos vies que, parfois, elles se confondent avec elles. Elles s'insinuent aussi bien dans le social que dans l'individuel et déterminent l'histoire de l'un et de l'autre. Le crime, quant à lui, semble d'être devenu un acte privilégié non seulement pour dire la violence, mais aussi pour vivre la peur. Le criminel, à cet égard, a parfois pour fonction de permettre de défini son contraire, l'individu de bonne réputation. L'époque actuelle favorise un individualisme d'un genre nouveau : la personne menacée de toutes parts tente de se protéger en démon.
