"Documenting China" brings together a series of linked texts, each
one chosen for its impact when first published and which together
chart the core developments in twentieth-century Chinese history.
With extracts spanning the fields of philosophy, political science,
gender studies, popular culture, literary history, neo-nationalist
discourse, and international relations, the book challenges
advanced language learners to elevate their reading ability to the
level necessary for handling real primary sources in an unmediated
way while deepening their understanding of Chinese politics,
society, and culture. Each chapter is structured around crucial
passages from a core historical text, each chapter begins with an
introductory essay in English that provides context for fully
understanding the text, suggested further readings, and a glossary
of key terms.

their own fields." -Shuhui Yang, author of "Appropriation and
