农家乐 Peasant Family Happiness Reviewed in American Anthropologist

My film, 农家乐 Peasant Family Happiness, is reviewed in the September 2013 issue of American Anthropologist 115(3): 507-509 by Emily Chao (author of Lijiang Stories).

Chao writes, "Chio's film...provides us with a rich and vivid account of the challenges of developing and sustaining rural tourism from the vantage point of rural communities.  It provides students with a contemporary view of rural China, which in the southwest is characterized by the commodification of ethnicity and striking economic polarization between China's urban and rural residents."

The full review is available online here or as a PDF.  More information on the film, including screenings and distribution, is available on this page.
