Forty years after his death, Mao remains a totemic, if divisive,
figure in contemporary China. Though he retains an immense symbolic
importance within China's national mythology, the rise of a
capitalist economy has seen the ruling class become increasingly
ambivalent towards him. And while he continues to be a highly
visible and contentious presence in Chinese public life, Mao's
enduring influence has been little understood in the West. In China
and the New Maoists, Kerry Brown and Simone van Nieuwenhuizen look
at the increasingly vocal elements who claim to be the true
ideological heirs to Mao, ranging from academics to cyberactivists,
as well as at the state's efforts to draw on Mao's image as a
source of legitimacy. This is a fascinating portrait of a country
undergoing dramatic upheavals while still struggling to come to
terms with its past.
