An Intellectual History of Modern China

"Encyclopedic in content, meticulous in its detail, and broad-ranging in its interpretations, this volume provides an admirable way to approach the main intellectual developments ot twentieth-century China as a whole. By expanding our understanding of the May Fourth period, and carrying the story down to the year 2000, the volume also helps us to see ´Maoism´ as merely a part of a greater story, rather than as the hearth of the story itself".
