Taking advantage of access to new sources in Chinese and even U.S.
archives, personal papers, and oral interviews with surviving
individuals, these essays compel a reconsideration of the early
communist period...Indispensable reading for understanding Chinese
society and the nascent communist state in 1949-1953.--L. Teh
"Choice "
The authors of the essays contained in this volume bring with them
an extraordinarily wide range of different disciplinary and
personal interests ranging from Chen Jian's political history of
the takeover of Tibet, through Perry Link's literary analysis of
comic skits, to Gail Hershatter's accounts of the changing lives of
rural midwives...[It's] a fascinating read sparking a whole variety
of new ways of looking at the 1949 revolution and the early
People's Republic.--Henrietta Harrison"Chinese Historical Review"
