Myrdal, Jan

Report from a Chinese Village Jan Myrdal - London Heinemann 1965 - xxxiv,373 Pages 16x23 cm HB

Include Illustrations.

In 1962 the Peking government broke all precedent when it gave permission to anthropologist Jan Myrdal and his photographer wife to settle down in the north Chinese village of Liu Ling. There they shared the villagers' intimate daily lives. They worked with them, ate their food, slept in their houses, while Myrdal meticulously recorded the "autobiographies" of Liu Ling's inhabitants exactly as they were told to him. The result is a human documentation of a revolution in process, something that has never been done before and may never be done again
