This dissertation examines contemporary Chinese farmers' pursuit of autonomy, and the effect of this pursuit upon structure change of Chinese communist regime. It argues that the unorganized farmers' thirst for a return to family autonomy in the end did more to change the social structure of the People's Republic of China than any of the changes in the urban setting. It shows that reform was pushed forward by the struggle of farmers for autonomy and their desire to rid themselves of the "feudal" status the communist state placed on them.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines contemporary Chinese farmers' pursuit of autonomy, and the effect of this pursuit upon structure change of Chinese communist regime. It argues that the unorganized farmers' thirst for a return to family autonomy in the end did more to change the social structure of the People's Republic of China than any of the changes in the urban setting. It shows that reform was pushed forward by the struggle of farmers for autonomy and their desire to rid themselves of the "feudal" status the communist state placed on them.
520 $a Chinese Communism created a new peasant class, distinct from traditional farmers and contemporary workers, a feudal class without social mobility or personal freedom. The development that was associated with the new regime and that greatly increased the revolutionary impact of unorganized farmers was the increase in productivity in the early 80s when majority of Chinese villages in effect came under baochan daohu (dividing land among households). When properly organized, the use of technology, seeds, and fertilizers made it possible for the farmers under baochan daohu to increase productivity not only per hectare but also per worker. This made person power available for rural industrialization and for migration to urban places. The migration of surplus labor was also kindled by the feudalization of the farmers that tied them to the land and hence the local area. Without any one organizing a revolution and by utilizing the graft and underground economy, the farmers gained autonomy for the planning of farming; for release of bonds to given cadres; from a closed class pattern that cut off motivation for further increasing productivity whether in farming or in alternatives to farming.
520 $a In the course of this pursuit, each and every unorganized effort in fact contributed to the transformation of the Chinese communist regime and prepared it, unintentionally no doubt, for a vastly increased productivity as a basis for remarkable increase in Chinese economic development. Its success, rather than state ideology and in spite of communist organization, became a major basis for China's current success in economic development.
