This collection begins with the cultural renaissance of the early
20th century, the rebellion against Western and Japanese
imperialism after 1919, the rise of the Nationalist and Communist
movements and their conflict in mainland China until the Communist
victory of 1949. After that, the focus is on the revolutionary
changes under Mao Zedong's regime, and the ideological struggles
after his death. Under Deng Ziaoping economic reform prompted rapid
growth but also led to calls for greater political freedom,
culminating in the Tiananmen protests of 1989. The final chapters
illustrate the problems the regime faces today, including the
ambitions of the Tibetan minority, and social issues such as
unemployment and corruption. Next to domestic issues, China's role
in the Korean War and changing relations with the USA and Soviet
Union are also covered.
The collection includes classic documents as well as less
accessible extracts, including a number available in English for
the first time. Anyone interested in the modern history of China
will find "China Since 1919 "an invaluable source of information.
