Between 1989 and 1993, with the end of the Cold War, Tiananmen, and
Deng Xiaoping's renewed reform, Chinese intellectuals said goodbye
to radicalism. In newly-founded journals, interacting with those
who had left mainland China around 1949 to revive Chinese culture
from the margins, they now challenged the underlying creed of
Chinese socialism and the May Fourth Movement that there was 'no
making without breaking'. Realistic Revolution covers the major
debates of this period on radicalism in history, culture, and
politics from a transnational perspective, tracing intellectual
exchanges as China repositioned itself in Asia and the world. In
this realistic revolution, Chinese intellectuals paradoxically
espoused conservatism in the service of future modernization. They
also upheld rationalism and gradualism after Maoist utopia but
concurrently rewrote history to re-establish morality. Finally,
their self-identification as scholars was a response to rapid
social change that nevertheless left their concern with China's
fate unaltered.
