| book description |

This book is a collection of texts on one of China's boldest social experiments in recent years: the rural reconstruction project in Bishan.Â The Bishan Project (2011-2016) was a rural reconstruction project in a small village Bishan, Anhui Province, China. The writingsÂ describe and criticize the social problems caused by Chinaâ€™s over-loading urbanization process and starts a aÂ contemporaryÂ agrarianismÂ and agritopianismÂ discourse to resist the modernism and developmentalism doctrine which dominated China for more than a century, answering a globalÂ desireÂ for the theory and action of the alternative social solution for todayâ€™s environmental and political crises.This practical utopian commune project ran for 6 years and caused a national debate on rural issues in China, when it was invited to be exhibited and presented abroad.Â This collection of writing will be of interest to artists, China scholars, architects, and the cultural community at large.
