China's 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation.
Its leaders, however, were not rebellious troublemakers on the
periphery of imperial order. On the contrary, they were a powerful
political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and
well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural
credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they
spearheaded produced a new, democratic political culture that
enshrined national sovereignty, constitutionalism, and the rights
of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously
untapped Qing and Republican sources, The Politics of Rights and
the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of
the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei
Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution, the
popularization of those ideas, and their animating impact on the
Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the
success or failure of the revolution, but rather on the
transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they
learn from it.
