About The Book
This book provides essential historical insights to understand contemporary China by exploring the nation’s trauma and growth during the early twentieth century. It explains how China’s defeat by Japan in 1895 triggered radical reform proposals and elite disillusionment with the Qing government. The narrative covers five decades of efforts aimed at strengthening the state, democratizing the political system, and building a fairer and more unified society.
Peter Zarrow blends narrative with thematic chapters focusing on central aspects of China’s transformation, using approaches from social sciences, cultural studies, and empirical historicism. The book offers a detailed portrayal of the personalities, ideas, and processes that shaped the creation of a modern Chinese state out of decades of violence and upheaval. It is essential reading for students and instructors interested in China’s modern history.
