Student Protests in Twentieth-Century China The View from Shanghai

"Wasserstrom has made a major contribution by shaping the history of student protest into a single, twentieth-century story and pattern of complexity. In doing so, he offers a model for rethinking the late imperial, republican, and communist periods as a historical unit conditioned by indigenous and global forces, and explained by sinological and comparative methods."Journal of Asian Studies "It succeeds very well at what it sets out to do: to bring Shanghai and performance theory to bear upon our understanding of student activism in twentieth-century China. Enriched by a comprehensive bibliographical essay and suggestive comparisons with Russian, American, and European student movements, this study sets a new standard for research in social history."The China QuarterlyWasserstrom, Jeffrey N. is the author of 'Student Protests in Twentieth-Century China The View from Shanghai', published 1991 under ISBN 9780804718813 and ISBN 0804718814.
