Using the way of storytelling, this book examines the petitions of
the migrants of a dam in China. With the intensive and thorough analysis of the
unique logic behind the petitions, it explores the complex relationship between
Chinese peasants and governments, where people may find the key to the
mysteries of Chinese society.

As the first academic monograph which systematically studies
petition, the peculiar Chinese social phenomenon, this book describes the
collective action of the rural migrants who had fallen into poverty due to the
construction of a dam in China’s Three Gorges area. By investigating the ups
and downs of the petitions, it reveals the operating mechanism of Chinese
counties, the conflicts between the officials and the masses, as well as
Chinese political culture, especially the subtle process of the contest of
powers. It observes that the peasants’ pursuit of justice not only temporarily
maintains the balance of interests, but also reproduces the legitimacy of the
party-state.

With substantial first-hand materials and empirical analyses, this
book will be a valuable reference for scholars and students to study Chinese
politics and society.
