x + 261pp, appendices, notes, glossary, bibliography, index, dustjacket patchily faded. "Throughout this work, Wakefield brings diverse considerations to bear on the study of inheritance and family. Economic issues, such as family survival strategies, upward and downward social mobility, and the preservation of wealth are weighed; the importance of social class considered; the wide variety of Chinese family and lineage property practices is carefully examined; women and the nuclear family are studied; family documents, village investigations, and law are analyzed. This outstanding study weaves these different yet complementary traditions into a new vision of how inheritance, family, lineage, and state interacted over the course of Qing and Republican China."
