Everyday Contention of Land-lost Peasants in Declining Local Communities: Taking Land Acquired Communities as Examplesn

Taking the behavior of land-lost peasants in the rural land acquired communities as research object,this paper scrutinized the relation and interaction between land-lost peasants and local village collectives that stretched a long period of time. Because of strong state intervention,the land-lost peasants are incapable of competing with the state. However,the peasants launch resistance in daily life continuouslyto pursue the redistribution of the collective revenue. This kind of contention helps peasants to protect their own benefits,preventing themselves from the risk of the declining local community and obtaining a sense of security by cashing the ownership of land. Under the blend influence of state administration,rural community collective and class polarization,rural communities collapse and their functions as security and public service for villager fail. Sense of belonging to local communities disappears,so the collaboration opportunities of land-lost peasants reduce. The individual land-lost peasants are forced to face the competitive market,which engenders individualisticorientation which will further enable peasants to stick to self-interested orientation and will enhance the equal distribution of collective properties of rural community.
