Autorenporträt

Egli, Dane S

Inhaltsangabe

Social science theories of contentious politics have been based almost
exclusively on evidence drawn from the European and American experience,
and classic texts in the field make no mention of either the Chinese
Communist revolution or the Cultural Revolution - surely two of the most
momentous social movements of the twentieth century. Moreover, China's
record of popular upheaval stretches back well beyond this century, indeed
all the way back to the third century B.C. By bringing together studies of
protest that span the Imperial, Republic, and Communist eras, this book
introduces Chinese patterns and provides a forum to consider ways in which
contentious politics in China might serve to reinforce, refine or reshape
theories derived from Western cases.
