The nine essays in this volume reexamine the "hundred days" in
1898 and focus particularly on the aftermath of this reform
movement. Their collective goal is to rethink the reforms not as a
failed attempt at modernizing China but as a period in which many
of the institutions that have since structured China began. Among
the subjects covered are the reform movement, the reformers,
newspapers, education, the urban environment, female literacy, the
"new" woman, citizenship, and literature. All the contributors urge
the view that modernity must be seen as a conceptual framework that
shaped the Chinese experience of a global process, an experience
through which new problems were raised and old problems rethought
in creative, inventive, and contradictory ways.
