Book excerpt: "China's official history maintains that the radical egalitarianism of the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) led to economic disaster. And when many people think of the Cultural Revolution (GPCR) they think of destruction and violence, red guard hooliganism, economic disruption, factional wars, violent army repression, closed schools, persecution of intellectuals, and ideological rigidity attacking people, buildings, and artwork. The Unknown Cultural Revolution (based on the author's doctoral dissertation) challenges that view and shows the other side of the GPCR. Drawing on local interviews and records in rural Jimo County, Shandong Province, this study contends that the GPCR caused the overthrow of the local hierarchy, the establishment of participatory democracy and economic planning in the communes, and a large expansion of public services (including social security for the aged) implemented by the newly empowered people of this county. The author documents substantial and rapid economic development resulting from these changes as well as from the consequences of expanding education. The author's village experience shows the potential of mass education and political empowerment of the masses to facilitate equitable rural development, and requires attention as testimony of the neglected, positive side of the Cultural Revolution." --back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume illuminates the relationship of China's radical past to its reformist present as China makes a way forward through very differently conceived and contested visions of the future. In the context of early twenty-first century problems and the failures of global capitalism, is China's history of revolutionary socialism an aberration that is soon to be forgotten, or can it serve as a resource for creating a more fully human and radically democratic China with implications for all of us? Ranging from the early years of China's revolutionary twentieth-century to the present, the essays collected here look at the past and present of China with a view toward better understanding the ideas, ideals, and people who have dared to imagine radical transformation of their worlds and to assess the conceptual, political, and social limitations of these visions and their implementations. The volume's chapters focus on these issues from a range of vantage points, representing a spectrum of current scholarship. The first half of the book brings new insights to understanding how early-twentieth century intellectuals interpreted ideas that allowed them to break with China's past and to envision new paths to a modern future. It treats of Chen Duxiu, a founder of the Communist party, Mao Zedong, and Mao in relation to the non-Communist Liang Shuming and with the Dalai Lama. With continuing threads of nation and nationalities, of peasants, utopias and dystopias linking the chapters, the book's second half looks broadly at the consequences of the implementations of radical ideas, at the same time critiquing our accepted frameworks of analysis. Moving up to the present, the book investigates the effects of the reforms since the 1980s on long-term environmental degradation and on the emergence of a capitalist rural economy. It gives an unsparing view into contemporary rural China through independent films. The book concludes with an analysis of the unshakable persistence of the shibboleth, 'the rise of China,' in popular and academic imagination and argues for the importance instead of taking seriously the twentieth-century history of radicalism in China and its significance for understanding China's present and its future potentials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming History examines the profound transformation of historical thought and practice of writing history from the late Qing through the midtwentieth century. The authors devote extensive analysis to the common set of intellectual and political forces that shaped the study of history, from the ideas of evolution, positivism, nationalism, historicism, and Marxism, to political processes such as revolution, imperialism, and modernization. Also discussed are the impact and problems associated with the nationstate as the subject of history, the linear model of historical time, and the spatial system of nationstates. The result is a convincing study that illustrates how history has transformed into a modern academic discipline in China.
