Philip Liddell is a professional translator living in France. Klappentext A translation of "Jacqueries et revolution dans la Chine du XXe siecle" that focuses on 'spontaneous' rural unrest! uninfluenced by revolutionary intellectuals. It raises issues inspired by the perennial concerns of revolutionary leaders! such as peasant 'class consciousness' and China's modernization. Zusammenfassung Bianco focuses on “spontaneous” rural unrest, uninfluenced by revolutionary intellectuals. The author shows that predominant forms of protest were directed not against the landowning class but against state agents, and suggests that 20th-century Chinese peasants were less different from 17th- or 18th-century French peasants than might be imagined.
