China has endured a century of turmoil, beginning with the
anti-dynastic revolution associated with Sun Yat-Sen, through the
military and tutelary rule of Chiang Kai-shek, the revolutionary
regime of Mao Zedong, and the radical reforms of Deng Xiaoping.
China has had little respite. Historians and social scientists have
attempted to understand some of this history as being the
consequence of the impact of European ideologies-including Marxism,
Marxism-Leninism, and Fascism. Rarely instructive or persuasive,
the discussions regarding this issue have, more often than not, led
to puzzlement, rather than enlightenment.In "A Place in the Sun,"
A. James Gregor offers an interpretation of the role of European
Marxist and Fascist ideas on China's revolutionaries that is both
original, and based on a lifetime of scholarship devoted to
revolutionary ideologies. Gregor renders a detailed analysis of
their respective influence on major protagonists. In the
exposition, Gregor reveals an unsuspected and complex set of
relationships between the Chinese revolution and essentially
European ideologies. His discussion concludes with a number of
estimations that suggest implications for the future of modern
China, and its relationship with the advanced industrial
democracies. How post-Dengist China-the world's most populous
nation-is to be understood remains uncertain to most comparativists
and historians. Gregor provides one well supported alternative, and
he is carefully attentive to the implications of this alternative.
