Rebuilding the Ancestral Village breaks new ground in our understanding of Chinese religion, immigration, and the networks of relationships that link communities together in Greater China. It extends the use of ethnographic methods to study not just localized communities, but also networks of communities. Its methods and insights have become more common among sociologists and anthropologists who study China. These ideas are worth pondering by a wide range of scholars, and this revised and expanded edition of the book is a service to the field of contemporary China studies. -- Richard Madsen, University of California, San Diego
