Abstract
Students of contemporary Chinese society must confront early in their training a problem that has become a dominant feature of their area of interest: the scarcity and crudity of useful information. Most successful efforts to cope with this central problem have been based on the sound strategy articulated by such practitioners as Michel Oksenberg and Martin Whyte: intimate familiarity with the variety of sources available, and a careful cross-checking between them for consistency. Good research on China, as a result, is often a function both of total immersion in existing sources and of an active sociological imagination. The field has apparently been blessed with people who have both of these attributes in abundance: not only is there a large body of sound descriptive and analytical work, but there also exists a number of competing, theoretically-important hypotheses about social processes in China since the Revolution.
