Social science theories of contentious politics have been based
almost exclusively on evidence drawn from the European and American
experience, and classic texts in the field make no mention of
either the Chinese Communist revolution or the Cultural Revolution
-- surely two of the most momentous social movements of the
twentieth century. Moreover, China's record of popular upheaval
stretches back well beyond this century, indeed all the way back to
the third century B.C. This book, by bringing together studies of
protest that span the imperial, Republican, and Communist eras,
introduces Chinese patterns and provides a forum to consider ways
in which contentious politics in China might serve to reinforce,
refine or reshape theories derived from Western cases.
