Providing historical insights essential to the understanding of
contemporary China, this text presents a nation's story of trauma
and growth during the early twentieth century. It explains how
China's defeat by Japan in 1895 prompted an explosion of radical
reform proposals and the beginning of elite Chinese disillusionment
with the Qing government. The book explores how this event also
prompted five decades of efforts to strengthen the state and the
nation, democratize the political system, and build a fairer and
more unified society. Peter Zarrow weaves narrative together with
thematic chapters that pause to address in-depth themes central to
China's transformation. While the book proceeds chronologically,
the chapters in each part examine particular aspects of these
decades in a more focused way, borrowing from methodologies of the
social sciences, cultural studies, and empirical historicism.
Essential reading for both students and instructors alike, it draws
a picture of the personalities, ideas and processes by which a
modern state was created out of the violence and trauma of these
decades.
