Within a framework of analysis and background by the four editors,
this book presents a view from the grassroots of the 1989 student
and mass movement in China and its tragic consequences. Here are
the core eyewitness and participant accounts expressed through wall
posters, students speeches, movement declarations, handbills, and
other documents. In their introductions to the material, the
editors address the political economy of the democracy movement,
the evolving concept of democracy during the movement, the
movement's contribution to China becoming a civil society, and the
changing view of the Chinese Communist Party by students,
intellectuals, workers and others, as the crisis unfolded.

The period we know as the Middle Ages, roughly the years 400-1400,
saw the formation of ideas and institutions that mark our modern
societies. Developments as disparate as the foundation of Islam and
the emergence of the middle class occurred during this pivotal
millennium. Although historical study of the Middle Ages has
traditionally focused on Western Europe, modern historians
recognize the complex global nature of this era. For all major
world regions, this important reference work offers in-depth essays
on broad themes, short entries on specific topics, and carefully
selected primary documents to help readers more fully understand
this critically important period. Edited by Joyce Salisbury, who is
general editor of the award-winning Greenwood Encyclopedia of Daily
Life, and written by Professor Salisbury and a series of prominent
historians with regional expertise, the Greenwood Encyclopedia of
Global Medieval Life and Culture comprises three volumes covering
the following areas of the globe: BLVolume 1: Europe and the
Americas Europe: Joyce Salisbury, University of Wisconsin--Green
Bay Latin America: James L. Fitzsimmons, Middlebury College
BLVolume 2: Islam and Africa Africa: Victoria Tashjian, St. Norbert
College Middle East/North Africa: James E. Lindsay, Colorado State

Bridgewater State College East Asia: William B. Ashbaugh, SUNY

and concluding with bibliographies of important and current

other useful data relating to the region. Each section will also be
illustrated and will include a selection of interesting primary
documents that further illustrate the main themes addressed in the
in-depth essays. Cross-references within the sections and a
detailed subject index will also help readers access information in
the essays and short entries.
