This fully updated second edition provides a succinct and selfcontained history of China. The text emphasizes the relationship between China's modern era and its past, employing a unique approach that presents the story in terms of traditional Chinese historical theories. When the West enters the scene in modern times, Schrecker fits its impact into the Chinese story, rather than the reverse, as is commonly done. This study demonstrates that traditional China was not homogeneous or changeless, thus offering a muchneeded corrective to common stereotypes about other cultures that is essential for both classroom use and for the general reader.The Chinese Revolution in Historical Perspective, available here in a fully updated second edition, provides a succinct and selfcontained history of China.
