Based on a wide variety of unusual and only recently available
sources, this book covers the entire Cultural Revolution decade
(1966-76) and shows how the Cultural Revolution was experienced by
ordinary Chinese at the base of urban and rural society. The
contributors emphasize the complex interaction of state and society
during this tumultuous period, exploring the way events originating
at the center of political power changed people's lives and how, in
turn, people's responses took the Cultural Revolution in unplanned
and unanticipated directions. This approach offers a more fruitful
way to understand the Cultural Revolution and its historical
legacies. The book provides a new look at the student Red Guard
movements, the effort to identify and cultivate potential
"revolutionary" leaders in outlying provinces, stubborn resistance
to campaigns to destroy the old culture, and the violence and mass
killings in rural China.
