In the Maoist period, authors and the communist literary
establishment shared the belief that art could reshape reality, and
was thus just as crucial to the political establishment as building
new infrastructure or developing advanced weaponry. Literature the
People Loves investigates the production of a literary system
designed to meet the needs of a newly revolutionary society in
China, decentering the Cold War understanding of communist culture.
Krista Van Fleit Hang shows readers how to understand the
intersection of gender, tradition, and communist ideology in
essential texts. Rather than arguing for or against the literary
merits of the works of the early Maoist period, the book presents a
sympathetic understanding of culture from a period in China's
history in which people's lives were greatly affected by political
events.
Examining the production of 'people's literature' in China, this
study provides a new interpretive framework with which to
understand socialist literature and presents a sympathetic
understanding of culture from a period in China's history in which
people's lives were greatly and obviously affected by political
events.
