Description
"In 1950, China's new Communist government passed a Marriage Law that ranks as one of the most dramatic efforts ever by a state to change marital and family relationships. The law prohibited arranged marriages, concubinage, and bigamy, and the citizens were now given free choice in the marriage and easier access to divorce. In this comprehensive study of the effects of that law, Neil J. Diamant draws on newly opened urban and rural archival sources for a detailed analysis of how the law was interpreted and implemented throughout the country." "Filled with a detailed depiction of the workings of multiple levels of the Chinese state, as well as many anecdotes about urban and rural family life, this original and provocative book will have broad appeal in political science, legal and gender studies, history, sociology, and history."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
Immediately after the Republican Party took control of both houses of Congress in the United States in 1994 there was a great deal of talk about "revolution," the role of family in society, and the relationship between the state and the family.
