The Chinese Revolution is long in the making, an unfolding
process that has spanned most of the twentieth century. This
comprehensive and ready-reference guide will help students and
interested readers to understand the process and the events that
have contributed to the ongoing revolution in the most populous
nation on earth. Seven essays provide information and analysis of
the revolution from the first decades of this century through 1998.
Ready-reference components include lengthy biographical sketches of
the seventeen most important and influential leaders in
twentieth-century Chinese history, and the text of nine primary
documents provides direct access to their words, which shaped the
Revolution. A timeline of significant events, a glossary of
selected terms, and an annotated bibliography of suggested reading
for students add value to the guide.
The first essay puts the Chinese Revolution into the context of
Chinese culture and practice, especially in light of Confucian
teaching, and examines national and international events that
contributed to the Revolution. Five essays examine specific aspects
of the Chinese Revolution: the thought of Mao Zedong; the political
philosophy of Deng Xiaoping; the multiethnic character of China;
China's relations with the United States and the Soviet Union; and
China's interest in Hong Kong and Taiwan. A concluding essay
assesses the consequences of the Chinese Revolution. The essays,
biographical sketches, primary documents, timeline, and annotated
bibliography all contribute to this comprehensive yet accessible
student's guide.
