{"product_id":"community-schools-and-the-state-sarah-schneewind-9780804751742","title":"Community Schools and the State in Ming China","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccording to imperial edict in pre-modern China, an elementary school was to be established in every village in the empire for any boy to attend. This book looks at how the schools worked, how they changed over time, and who promoted them and why. Over the course of the Ming period (1368-1644), schools were sponsored first by the emperor, then by the central bureaucracy, then by local officials, and finally by the people themselves. The changing uses of schools helps us to understand how the Ming state related to society over the course of nearly 300 years, and what they can show us about community and political debates then and now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Schneewind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.34w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 241","brand":"Sarah Schneewind","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926223618303,"sku":"9780804751742","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2466677b-348b-4ee5-9808-7a3c71d6562e.jpg?v=1681081884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-schools-and-the-state-sarah-schneewind-9780804751742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
