Chinese citizens make themselves at home despite economic transformation, political rupture, and domestic dislocation in the contemporary countryside.

As a particular configuration of red capitalism and socialist sovereignty takes root, this process challenges the relationship between the politics of place and the location of class in China and beyond.
