Based on the Four Anniversaries China Conference in Annapolis, Maryland, September 1989, 16 papers identify the most enduring features of the Chinese system from earlier times. The papers, like the conference, are organized around four periods: high Qing before the Opium War, the May Fourth era, the Maoist era after 1949; and the era of Deng's reforms (putting the Deng era in historical perspective and identifying its future legacy). Paper edition (unseen), $18.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Considers four major events in modern Chinese history in the perspective of the rapid changes that were shaping the Chinese society, economy, polity, and sense of place in the world in the 1980s, a time when China was making rapid strides toward becoming more integrated with the outside world.
The conveners (the editors of this book) of the September 1989 Four Anniversaries China Conference in Annapolis, asked the contributors to look back from that point in time to consider four major events in modern Chinese history in the perspective of the rapid changes that were shaping the Chinese society, economy, polity, and sense of place in the world in the 1980s, a time when China was making rapid strides toward becoming more integrated with the outside world. With contributions by distinguished scholars in the field, the four anniversaries considered are the High Qing, the May Fourth Movement, forty years of communism in China, and ten years of the Deng era.
