Chinese Peasants & 1949 Revolution

From the Paper:

"This study will examine the role played by Chinese peasants in the Chinese Communist revolution which brought the communists to power in 1949. The primary role of the peasants in that revolution had to do with efforts in land reform. Also important to an understanding of this issue are the Peasants' Associations and the differences between the three categories of peasants---rich, middle and poor. In general, however, it can fairly be said that the peasants were profoundly crucial to the revolution and to its ultimate success. As William Hinton writes in Iron Oxen: A Documentary of Revolution in Chinese Farming, "Everything that had been achieved in the Communist areas had been carried through by the united efforts and hard work of the people. The people's brains and muscles were the primary resource" (Hinton Iron 25)

It is undeniable that the peasants depended on organization.."
