This ethnographic study of one community focuses on the logic of everyday practice in post-reform rural China. It analyzes the changes and continuities marking the recent history of northwestern China and highlights the broader implications for the way we understand Chinese modernity.

Huang engages with prominent Chinese intellectuals, writers, artists and filmmakers, including Ba Jin, Han Shaogong, Hong Ying, Zhang Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and Ann Hui.
