Reardon-Anderson ... rectifies that oversight in this clearly organized exceptionally well written study of Manchuria's agrarian development over the course of three centuries."CHOICE "James Reardon-Anderson makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning literature on the frontiers of China." - The China Quarterly "This ambitious and elegant book covers a subject of vast scope." - China Review International
