Academic interest in Mao Zedong's role in the Chinese Revolution
remains intense, as scholars and commentators continue to analyze
his thinking and the history of the movement for clues about the
Chinese model and its supposedly unique features. The debate about
Mao's career and influence is now enlivened by the consequences of
the dramatic turn by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) away from
the radical socialism he is said to represent and its granting of a
far greater role to the market, though without shedding much of its
political power. Collections of primary sources on Mao Zedong and
CCP history, written by the communists themselves, are readily
available but informed scholarship is indispensable to explain
these sources and to put them in proper perspective. What were
Mao's objectives? Were they consistent? In what ways did Mao
manipulate the CCP and the state to his own political ends? To what
extent did his political vision dominate Chinese politics in the
revolutionary years and after 1949? And where is Chinese communism
now headed? This new major work will help to identify some of the
answers. Bringing together the best scholarship, reportage, and
other materials, the collection includes the following: scholarly
studies by Westerners on Mao's life and work, including
wide-ranging studies of Mao's political career as a whole
psychological studies studies on his role in the urban years, the
rural period, the Japanese War, the Civil War, the 1950s, the
deepening of the revolution under the Great Leap Forward and the
Cultural Revolution, and the final years specialist essays on his
views on topics such as philosophy, literature, economics, and the
Soviet Union studies on his interpretation of Marxism assessments
of his role in the Chinese Revolution by Soviet China watchers.
Comprehensively indexed and with an introduction newly written by
the editor, a leading expert in the field, Mao Zedong and the
Chinese Revolution is a vital reference resource for all scholars
and students of Chinese communism.
