The process of transforming bamboo into paper involves production-related and social skills, as well as the everyday skills that allowed Sichuan papermakers to survive in an era of tumultuous change. This book charts the vicissitudes of a rural community of papermakers in Sichuan.
Eyferth charts the vicissitudes of a rural community of papermakers in Sichuan, tracing the changes in the distribution of knowledge that led to a massive transfer of technical control from villages to cities, from primary producers to managerial elites, and from women to men.
