Title
Witness Against History: Literature, Film, And Public Discourse In Twentiethcentury China,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Witness against History offers fresh readings of milestones in twentiethcentury Chinese literature and cinema. The book reveals how these texts and films, which seem to proclaim faith in modernity, nevertheless doubt the possibility of changing the course of history. In the aftermath of violent events, the authors question their ability to rescue the nation or even create a space for public debate. The witness against history is ultimately a critique of witnessing itself.
