The trial of Cultural Revolution leaders, including Mao's widow and
her Gang of Four, was the signal event in China's post-Mao
transition. In its wake, Chinese socialism emerged from the rubble
of the Cultural Revolution to create the China that we know today.
This spectacular show trial was a curious example of transitional
justice, marking a break from the trauma of the past, a shift to
the present era of reform, and a blueprint for building a better
future. In this groundbreaking reconstruction of the most famous
trial in Chinese history, Alex Cook shows how the event laid the
cornerstone for a new model of socialist justice; at the same time,
a comparison of official political and legal sources with works of
popular literature reveals the conflicted cultural dimensions of
this justice. The result, Cook argues, saved Chinese socialism as
ruling ideology, but at the cost of its revolutionary soul.
