In this highly mountainous, sparsely populated area live the Lisu, Nu, and Dulong (Drung) people, who until recently lived as subsistence farmers, relying on shifting cultivation, hunting, the collection of medicinal plants from surrounding forests, and small-scale logging to sustain their household economies. China's New Socialist Countryside explores how compulsory education, conservation programs, migration for work, and the expansion of social and economic infrastructure are not only transforming livelihoods, but also intensifying the Chinese Party-state’s capacity to integrate ethnic minorities into its political fabric and the national industrial economy. 2023-08-28T08:10:10Z 2023-08-28T08:10:10Z 2013 book ONIX_20230828_9780295804781_16 9780295804781 9780295993256 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/75803 eng Studies on Ethnic Groups in China application/pdf application/epub+zip n/a Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780295804781.pdf 9780295804781.epub https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295993256/chinas-new-socialist-countryside University of Washington Press University of Washington Press 10.6069/9780295804781 10.6069/9780295804781 bf4ecffe-ae79-41c6-a4b1-18e7b7aac1b9 9780295804781 9780295993256 University of Washington Press 248 Seattle open access
