Called the Great Leap Forward, Mao's grand scheme-like so many other utopian dreams of the 20th century-proved a monumental disaster, resulting in the mass destruction of China's agriculture, industry, and trade while leaving large portions of the countryside forever scarred by man-made environmental disasters. The resulting three-year famine claimed the lives of more than 45 million people in China. In this remarkable oral history of modern China's greatest tragedy, survivors of the cataclysm share their memories of the devastation and loss. The range of voices is wide: city dwellers and peasants, scholars and factory workers, parents who lost children and children who were orphaned in the catastrophe all speak out. Powerful and deeply moving, this unique remembrance of an unnecessary and unhindered catastrophe illuminates a dark recent history that remains officially unacknowledged to this day by the Chinese government and opens a window on a society still feeling the impact of the terrible Great Famine"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000765870 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000765870 650_0 $$aFamines$$zChina$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000765870 650_0 $$aFood supply$$zChina$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000765870 651_0 $$aChina$$xPopulation$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000765870 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000765870 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aZhou, Xun.$$tForgotten voices of Mao's great famine, 1958-1962 : an oral history.$$dNew Haven : Yale University Press, [2013]$$z9780300184044$$w(DLC) 2013015473 000765870 852__ $$bebk 000765870 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3421333$$zOnline Access 000765870 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:765870$$pGLOBAL_SET 000765870 980__ $$aBIB 000765870 980__ $$aEBOOK 000765870 982__ $$aEbook 000765870 983__ $$aOnline
