This comprehensive but concise narrative of China since the
eighteenth century builds its story around the delicate
relationship between central government and local communities.*
Rejects the traditional view of China as a wholly harmonious
society based on principles of stability - the Unwobbling Pivot of
Ezra Pound's translation of the Chinese classic Zhongyong* Provides
an original interpretation, arguing that developments can be
explained through an understanding of China's surprising swings
between centralization and decentralization, between local
initiative and central authoritarianism* Serves as an introduction
to the subject, while readers with a background in Chinese history
will find the book offers a personal perspective and addresses
long-standing interpretive issues* Supported by a variety of
timelines, maps, illustrations, and extensive notes for further
reading* Places China's history within the context of global change
