Contributors to this special issue investigate the current state of
People's Republic of China (PRC) history, positing that the methods
Anglophone, non-Chinese scholars have developed and deployed over
the last several decades led to important misreadings of the
historical record. The contributors argue that Chinese people have,
from the rise and fall of Maoist ideology to the subsequent
post-disillusionment era, produced political subjectivities and
revolutionary upheavals that challenged traditional societal and
pedagogical systems. Therefore, producing better scholarship
requires taking seriously the way PRC history is necessarily and
profoundly political. Essay topics include the unattainable and
unfilled aspirations that Maoism engendered, the problems that mark
the practice of PRC history to this day, and the ideological
approach that frames both how we read Mao-era sources and
understand Maoist politics in general. Other topics include how US
academia writes the history of the PRC-especially with the
problematic dominance of social scientific methods-and the
differences between labor in Maoist China and labor under
capitalism. Contributors. Jeremy Brown, Alexander Day, Matthew D.
Johnson, Fabio Lanza, Covell Meyskens, Sigrid Schmalzer, Aminda
Smith, Jake Werner
