Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A concise account of how revolutions made modern China and helped shape the modern worldChinas emergence as a twentyfirstcentury global economic, cultural, and political power is often presented as a story of what Chinese leader Xi Jinping calls the nations great rejuvenation, a story narrated as the return of China to its rightful place at the center of the world.In Chinas Revolutions in the Modern World, historian Rebecca E. Karl argues that Chinas contemporary emergence is best seen not as a return, but rather as the product of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary activity and imaginings. From the Taipings in the midnineteenth century through nationalist, antiimperialist, cultural, and socialist revolutions to todays capitalistinflected Communist State, modern China has been made in intellectual dissonance and class struggle, in mass democratic movements and global war, in socialism and antisocialism, in repression and conflict by multiple generations of Chinese people mobilized to seize history and make the future in their own name. Through Chinas successive revolutions, the contours of our contemporary world have taken shape. This brief interpretive history shows how.
