Book made in China, 1969, by the Foreign Language Press Peking. Tachai was a small agricultural commune in Shanxi Province. Mao fully embraced tachai as a model that the entire country should emulate. Most of the imagery in the book consists of black and white photographs documenting the everyday life of this agrarian paradise. These are punctuated periodically by vibrant colour images that help to produce a view of this agrucultural commune. When combined with the bold red blocks of Mao quotations, the effect is to produce a sense of energy and dynamism.
