From the Soil
"A lucid and fascinating work about Chinese society and values. Fei's account of how China differs from the West is every bit as telling now as it was when this book was first published almost half a century ago."—Orville Schell "What are the fundamental characteristics of Chinese society and how does it differ from the West? In From the Soil, China's foremost sociologist offered his insights, based on fieldwork in China and residence in the West, into this fascinating question. Vivid and clearly written, it has long been a classic of Chinese sociology, widely read by Chinese. It is wonderful finally to have it available in English."—David Arkush, University of Iowa

China's Gentry
These seven essays on the structure of Chinese society are based on articles contributed by Fei to Chinese newspapers in 1947 and 1948. Six case histories from a study of the gentry by Yung-teh Chow are appended. "The chief interest and charm of this book lie in the fact that it is not directed to the Western reader; these were studies written in Chinese, by an erudite Chinese, for a Chinese public. . . . Mrs. Redfield is to be complimented for her own careful research in preparing this translation for a non-Chinese public."—Robert F. Spencer, American Anthropologist
Rural Development in China
This collection of essays written from 1947-1986 by Fei Hsiao-tung, China's most distinguished sociologist and anthropologist, presents a rich and representative sampling of the research that has characterized his long career. In 1936, Fei conducted field work in Kaixian'gong, a village in Jiangsu province in east China. This village became the subject of his now classic study Peasant Life in China, in which he argued that, because of China's huge population and the scarcity of cultivable land, household industries such as production of raw silk were vital to the peasants' economic survival. His conclusions, long rejected by China's policymakers, have recently been embraced by the government...
Fei Xiaotong Studies, Part II, English
Fei Xiaotong Studies (Vol. 2) consists of articles by authors from the UK, Japan, USA, Germany, China and Hong Kong. The main articles focus on Fei Xiaotong and related studies, with China in comparative perspective. It also includes articles on globalization of Chinese sociology and world anthropology.
Globalization and Cultural Self-Awareness
Globalization and Cultural Self-Awareness includes the writings, speeches, and conversations of Fei Xiaotong on this topic taken from the last 10 years of his life, from the 1990s to the early 2000s. Under the backdrop of globalization and conflicts between civilizations, the Chinese scholar and social scientist Fei Xiaotong proposed his ideas of "cultural self-awareness" and the axiom "each appreciates his own best, appreciates the best of others, all appreciate the best together for the greater harmony of all." He proposed to rediscover traditional Chinese culture and discussed how to uncover resources within it as a basis for developing a new culture, to meet the challenge of globalization and, by bringing this vision of cultural self-awareness to the international scene, achieve their own transformation, open a new path for co-existence of civilizations and development of cultural self-awareness.
