Rethinking Mao offers an innovative perspective on the thought of
Mao Zedong, the major architect of the Chinese Revolution and
leader of the People's Republic of China until his death in 1976.
Utilizing a number of recently discovered documents written by Mao,
Nick Knight 'rethinks' Mao by subjecting a number of controversial
themes to fresh scrutiny. This book provides a sophisticated
analysis of Mao's views on the role of the peasants and working
class in the Chinese revolution, his theoretical attempt to make
Marxism appropriate to Chinese conditions, and his understanding of
the Chinese road to socialism. Knight includes a discussion of the
theoretical difficulties in interpreting Mao's thought. Rethinking
Mao represents a challenge to many of the conventional accounts of
Mao and his thoughts. This book will appeal to scholars and
students of Chinese history and politics, as well as the history of
Marxism in China.
