In the spring of 1989 over 100,000 students in Beijing initiated
the largest student revolt in human history. Television screens
across the world filled with searing images from Tiananmen Square
of protesters thronging the streets, massive hunger strikes, tanks
set ablaze, and survivors tending to the dead and wounded after a
swift and brutal government crackdown.
Dingxin Zhao's award-winning "The Power of Tiananmen" is the
definitive treatment of these historic events. Along with
grassroots tales and interviews with the young men and women who
launched the demonstrations, Zhao carries out a penetrating
analysis of the many parallel changes in China's state-society
relations during the 1980s. Such changes prepared an alienated
academy, gave rise to ecology-based student mobilization,
restricted government policy choices, and shaped student emotions
and public opinion, all of which, Zhao argues, account for the
tragic events in Tiananmen.
