City Versus Countryside in Mao's China

City Versus Countryside in Mao's China: Negotiating the Divide

The gap between those living in the city and those in the countryside remains one of China's most intractable problems. As this powerful work of grassroots history argues, the origins of China's rural-urban divide can be traced back to the Mao Zedong era. While Mao pledged to remove the gap between the city worker and the peasant, his revolutionary policies misfired and ended up provoking still greater discrepancies between town and country, usually to the disadvantage of villagers. Through archival sources, personal diaries, untapped government dossiers, and interviews with people from cities and villages in northern China, the book recounts their personal experiences, showing how they retaliated against the daily restrictions imposed on their activities while traversing between the city and the countryside. Vivid and harrowing accounts of forced and illicit migration, the staggering inequity of the Great Leap Famine, and political exile and deportation during the Cultural Revolution reveal how Chinese people fought back against policies that pitted city dwellers against villagers.

Concierto Barroco

Concierto Barroco
$5.50
$10.99
Sale 50% off 1 item

Concierto barroco es una novela breve pero rica en referencias culturales, musicales e históricas, escrita con el estilo característico de Carpentier, donde se mezcla el realismo mágico con el barroquismo literario. La historia gira en torno a un acaudalado criollo mexicano que viaja a Europa en el siglo XVIII acompañado de su sirviente. En Venecia, el protagonista se encuentra con figuras como Antonio Vivaldi, Domenico Scarlatti y Georg Friedrich Händel, con quienes vive un episodio fantástico y anacrónico que culmina en un extravagante concierto.

La novela es una reflexión sobre la música, la historia, el sincretismo cultural y el mestizaje. Carpentier juega con el tiempo histórico y la ficción, incorporando elementos modernos (como el jazz de Louis Armstrong) en un contexto del siglo XVIII, creando un diálogo entre culturas y épocas.

Novela que da cuenta del gusto del autor por la música, una segunda vocación que, junto a la arquitectura, subyace en toda su obra y que ya se había manifestado con singular vehemencia en Los pasos perdidos.

Contemporary Urbanism in Brazil: Beyond Brasilia

"This outstanding, well-crafted, and highly original volume makes a strong case for viewing Brazilian urbanism as a cutting edge laboratory of urban change not only in Latin America but also in cities across the planet."--Lawrence A. Herzog, San Diego State University

"A landmark study. . . . Amply demonstrates that the city is a tool to achieve social equity; that place, design, and sensitivity to multiculturalism matter; and that participatory democracy is forged through experiencing and designing the urban realm."--Peter M. Ward, University of Texas, Austin

For decades, a succession of military regimes and democratic governments in Brazil sought to shape the future of their society through the manipulation of urban spaces. Planned cities were built that reflected the ideals of high modernism, and urban designers and planners created clean-cut minimalist spaces that reflected the hope for an idyllic future in a still-developing nation. But these cities were criticized as "utopian dreams" in a country plagued with the urban realities of rampant sprawl and the infamous slums known as favelas.

In this international collection of essays, architects, urban planners, and scholars assess the legacy of Brazilian urbanism to date. They evaluate the country's experiments with modernism and examine how Brazilian cities are regenerating themselves within a democratic political framework that meets market and social demands, and respects place, culture, and history.

Vicente del Rio is professor in the city and regional planning department at California Polytechnic State University. William Siembieda is head of the city and regional planning department at California Polytechnic State University.
