The Mao Estate. China at the end of an epoch and on the threshold of modernisation: glimpses of social history (1970-1980) by John Barclay and John Cleverley is an eyewitness photographic archive of over 1,100 mainly original images of China in the 1970s to just after 1980. It is a record of social history and of a major point of transition from one epoch to another. It provides insights into the ideological prescriptions of the era.

This book also contributes to an understanding of the period leading to the changes wrought by the Four Modernizations which launched China on the path to becoming a major world power.
