Informationen zum Autor By Catherine Lynch; Robert B. Marks and Paul G. Pickowicz - Contributions by Tina Mai Chen; Bruce Cumings; Lee Feigon; Sooyoung Kim and Thomas Lutze Klappentext Representing a spectrum of current scholarship, this volume illuminates the relationship of China's radical past to its reformist present as China makes a way forward through contested visions of the future.
