Ranging From The Early Years Of China'S Revolutionary Twentiethcentury To The Present, The Essays Collected Here Look At The Past And Present Of China With A View Toward Better Understanding The Ideas, Ideals, And People Who Have Dared To Imagine Radical Transformation Of Their Worlds And To Assess The Conceptual, Political, And Social Limitations Of These Visions And Their Implementations.The Volume'S Chapters Focus On These Issues From A Range Of Vantage Points, Representing A Spectrum Of Current Scholarship.

Moving Up To The Present, The Book Investigates The Effects Of The Reforms Since The 1980S On Longterm Environmental Degradation And On The Emergence Of A Capitalist Rural Economy. It Gives An Unsparing View Into Contemporary Rural China Through Independent Films. The Book Concludes With An Analysis Of The Unshakable Persistence Of The Shibboleth, The Rise Of China, In Popul
