This title was first published in 1981. The study of peasant
rebellion constitutes a major research field among contemporary
Chinese historians. This book brings together translated excerpts
of primary and secondary materials dealing with one of the largest
rebellions in Chinese history: the Nien Rebellion of 1851-1868. The
selections have been made with two main purposes in mind. First,
they have been chosen with an eye toward introducing some new types
of source materials for the study of Chinese peasant rebellion.
Original field research conducted by Chinese scholars in the late
1950s uncovered important information not contained in official
documentary collections. Second, the selections offer a sample of
the nature of historiographical debate within Chinese academic
circles. It is hoped that the selections will prove of interest not
only to students of the Nien, but also to others curious about the
lines of scholarly controversy within the People's Republic of
China.
