Summary This book translates and contextualizes the recollections of men and women who built, lived, and worked in some of the factory compounds relocated from Chinas most cosmopolitan cityShanghai. Small Third Line factories became oases of relatively prosperous urban life among more impoverished agricultural communities. These accounts, plus the guiding questions, contextual notes, and further readings accompanying them, show how everyday lives fit into the sweeping geopolitical changes in China and the world during the Cold War era. Furthermore, they reveal how the Chinese Communist Partys military-industrial strategies have shaped Chinas economy and society in the post-Mao era. The approachable translations and insight into areas of life rarely covered by political or diplomatic histories like sexuality and popular culture make this book highly accessible for classroom use and the general-interest reader. Xu Youwei is Professor of History at Shanghai University, China. Y. Yvon Wang is Associate Professor of History at the University of Toronto, Canada. .
