Surveying a dozen transformative episodes across Chinese history, from Taiping to the Chinese Dream of Xi Jinping, Rebecca Karl traces the emergence of mass politics, the worlds they sought to construct, and their dialectical relationship to counter-revolution. For Karl, Chinas revolutions have, since the mid nineteenth century, raised questions about and helped clarify what modern China was to be, as a geography and territory, a polity, a nationality, or a cluster of ethnicities, as congeries of cultural entities, as a class politics, and more.

Surveying a dozen transformative episodes across Chinese history, from Taiping to the Chinese Dream of Xi Jinping, Rebecca Karl traces the emergence of mass politics, the worlds they sought to construct, and their dialectical relationship to counter-revolution.

In brief, revolutions were an essential mode of rethinking the pasthistoryin the light of new demands for the present and the future. As Beijing anticipates its rise to a destined global power, this study become only more urgent. A concise account of how revolutions made modern China and helped shape the modern world.

Hardback. Etat : New. China's emergence as a twenty-first-century global economic, cultural, and political power is often presented as a story of what Chinese leader Xi Jinping calls the nation's "great rejuvenation," a story narrated as the return of China to its "rightful" place at the center of the world.In China's Revolutions in the Modern World, historian Rebecca E. Karl argues that China's contemporary emergence is best seen not as a "return," but rather as the product of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary activity and imaginings. From the Taipings in the mid-nineteenth century through nationalist, anti-imperialist, cultural, and socialist revolutions to today's capitalist-inflected Communist State, modern China has been made in intellectual dissonance and class struggle, in mass democratic movements and global war, in socialism and anti-socialism, in repression and conflict by multiple generations of Chinese people mobilized to seize history and make the future in their own name. Through China's successive revolutions, the contours of our contemporary world have taken shape. This brief interpretive history shows how. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781788735599
