The violence of Mao's China is well known, but its extreme form is
not. In 1967 and 1968, during the Cultural Revolution, collective
killings were widespread in rural China in the form of public
execution. Victims included women, children, and the elderly. This
book is the first to systematically document and analyze these
atrocities, drawing data from local archives, government documents,
and interviews with survivors in two southern provinces. This book
extracts from the Chinese case lessons that challenge the
prevailing models of genocide and mass killings and contributes to
the historiography of the Cultural Revolution, in which scholarship
has mainly focused on events in urban areas.
