Description
Elizabeth Perry explores the surprising trajectory of the Chinese Communist revolution, tracing its development through a case study of the Anyuan coal mine.
The mine, once known as "China's Little Moscow," became a symbol of a distinctively Chinese revolutionary tradition, shaped by the creative deployment of cultural resources by Mao Zedong and his comrades. Perry examines how this process helped to construct a polity in which the Communist system came to be accepted as familiarly "Chinese."
The meanings of this tradition remain highly contested, with contemporary Chinese debate their revolutionary past in search of a new political future.
