Description

Revolution and Its Narratives: China's Socialist Literary and Cultural Imaginaries, 1949-1966

This historical, literary, and critical account explores the cultural production of China's socialist revolution through a detailed analysis of major and minor novels, dramas, short stories, and cinema. Xiang Cai examines the complex relationship between culture, history, and politics during this period, shedding light on both the utopian promise and the impossibility of socialist cultural production.

Translated, annotated, and edited by Rebecca E. Karl and Xueping Zhong, this translation presents Cai's influential work to English-language readers for the first time, offering a nuanced understanding of China's socialist literary and cultural imaginaries during a pivotal moment in the country's history.
