This volume provides the first study of the history of sinology
(aka China studies) as charted across several communist states
during the Cold War. The People's Republic of China was created in
the first years of the Cold War, with its early history and foreign
policy intimately bound up in that larger geopolitical fight. All
the seismic changes in China's geopolitical landscape-from its
emergence and close relationship with the Soviet Union, to the
Sino-Soviet split and the eventual rapprochement with the United
States-resulted in a great deal of interest by journalists,
politicians, and scholars. Yet, although scholars across the Soviet
Bloc produced an impressive body of work on a range of sinological
studies, with rare exceptions most of those scholars and their work
remains unknown outside their own intellectual circles. This book
redresses this dearth of knowledge of sinological scholarship,
providing invaluable and unique glimpses of Soviet Bloc sinologists
and their work during the Cold War, including cutting-edge research
on lesser-studied communist states such as Poland, Hungary,
Mongolia, and others. International in scope, this book is ideal
for scholars and researchers of modern history, Chinese studies,
sinology, and the Cold War.
