| Beschreibung: | Publisher description: Twentieth-Century China: New Approaches is an important revisionist study of China's recent past. The chapters throw light on a variety of subjects within the field which has recently undergone considerable change. The four major parts of this Reader take into account the historical shape of the century, local perspectives on national history, political language, and the upheavals that punctuated the last dozen years of China's turbulent twentieth century." "The chapters reflect a move away from a Western-centered analysis of Chinese history and draw on the wealth of archival material made accessible over the last decade. They highlight in new and challenging ways important topics that have generated considerable excitement among historians. Subjects discussed include the watershed year of 1949, feminism, the revolutions, the discourse of the Communist Party, and patterns of popular protest in modern China." "This Reader will be indispensable to anyone interested in new approaches to the field of contemporary Chinese history. |
