Revolution and Its Past is a comprehensive study of China from the
last quarter of the eighteenth century through to 2018. A
fascinating and dramatic narrative, the book compels interest both
as a history of an ancient civilization developing into a modern
nation-state and as an account of how the Chinese as a people have
struggled and continue to work to find their identity in the modern
world. Beginning in the last two decades of the reign of the
Qianlong emperor (1736-1795), the book provides a baseline that
allows readers to understand China's rapid decline in the
nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, and extends into the
present day, a time when China has the second largest economy in
the world and aims to become a leading global power by 2050. The
vast changes that have swept over China between these times are
probed through the lens of the broad and important theme of
"identities." This fourth edition has been updated throughout,
providing a more thorough examination of recent history since 1960,
and increasing coverage of such topics as "new Qing history,"
frontier and ethnicity, women and their roles, environmental
concerns and issues, and globalization. Supported by maps, images,
tables, online eResources and suggestions for further reading, and
written in an engaging, concise, and authoritative style,
Revolution and Its Past is the ideal textbook for all students of
the history of modern China.
