Sources in Chinese History, now in its second edition, has been
updated to include re-translations of over a third of the
documents. It also incorporates nearly 40 new sources that work to
familiarize readers with the key events, personages, and themes of
modern China. Organized thematically, the volume examines China's
complex history from the rise of the Qing dynasty in the
mid-seventeenth century through the formation of the People's
Republic of China up to the present. Each chapter begins with an
annotated visual source followed by a chapter introduction and
analysis of textual sources, allowing students to explore different
types of sources and topics. Sources in Chinese History
contextualizes the issues, trends, and challenges of each
particular period. Special attention has been made to incorporate a
variety of viewpoints which challenge standard accounts.
Non-traditional documents, such as movie dialogues, are also
included which aim to encourage students to reconsider historical
events and trends in Chinese history. This volume includes a
variety of sources, such as maps, posters, film scripts, memorials,
and political cartoons and advertisements, that make this book the
perfect introductory aid for students of Chinese history, politics,
and culture, as well as Chinese studies after 1600.
