Yes, it's difficult to know if what Snow reports on is "real" or a show put on by the Communists something Snow himself acknowledges , but it does not detract from an excellent travelogue written by a person who, incidentally, was the first Western journalist to visit Red China and meet with Mao who is clearly excited about witnessing revolutionary change and the possibilities it may bring. Snow's status as an international journalist not previously identified with the communist movement gave his reports the stamp of authenticity.

    Urban Development and Everyday Life of Ordinary Labourers in Wartime Chongqing: 1937-1945 Xiaolu Wu A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract After the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese war on 7th July 1937, Chongqing was set as the wartime capital of China. Before the war, Chongqing was a common commercial city in southwest of China. Due to geographical factors, the city was situated away from the political centre of China for a long time. Furthermore, as a part of Sichuan province the city greatly suffered because of the local warlords’ civil war from the 1920s to the 1930s. Although it was faced with many difficulties Chongqing still had some industrial and economic development with the support of local warlords. It laid a foundation for the future political and industrial development of Chongqing. After Chongqing became the wartime capital great changes happened. The city not only changed politically and economically, but it also changed socially because of the impact of these changes on the ordinary people. The social order and structure changed during wartime, while the ordinary people were re-made and re-shaped by the changing daily life. The Guomindang government reached the peak of its power during the war, while what was the distance between the power and the private space of ordinary people? The local individuals were deeply influenced by the political and historical events in their daily life. However they were not only observers of the historical changes that occurred around them but they can also claim ownership of the changes that they helped bring about.

    Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI Thomas Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP NIAS AND THE EVOLUTION OF This book analyses the power struggles within the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party between 1931, when several Party leaders left Shanghai and entered the Jiangxi Soviet, and 1945, by which time Mao Zedong, Liu THE CHINESE COMMUNIST Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai had emerged as senior CCP leaders. In 1949 they established the People's Republic of China and ruled it for several decades. LEADERSHIP Based on new Chinese sources, the study challenges long-established views that Mao Zedong became CCP leader during the Long March (1934–35) and that by 1935 the CCP was independent of the Comintern in Moscow. The result is a critique not only of official Chinese historiography but also of Western (especially US) scholarship that all future histories of the CCP and power struggles in the PRC will need to take into account. “Meticulously researched history and a powerful critique of a myth that has remained central to Western and Chinese scholarship for decades. Kampen’s study of the so-called 28 Bolsheviks makes compulsory reading for anyone Thomas Kampen trying to understand Mao’s (and Zhou Enlai’s!) rise to power. A superb example of the kind of revisionist writing that today's new sources make possible, and reminder never to take anything for granted as far as our ‘common knowledge’ about the history of the Chinese Communist Party is concerned.” – Michael Schoenhals, Director, Centre for East and Southeast Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden “Thomas Kampen has produced a work of exceptional research which, through the skillful use of recently available Chinese sources, questions the accepted wisdom about the history of the leadership of the CCP.

It took seventy years to research, write, and complete this book, and the authors, editors, and various other contributors have illustrated their everlasting devotion to modern China by focusing on a small rural town called Prosperity (Daxing) near Chongqing, southwest China. The authors and editors of the book deserve our attention. Isabel Crook was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, into a Canadian missionary family. Yu Xiji, a woman from a prestigious gentry-scholar family with a MA degree from University of Toronto, was a medical worker in Prosperity and later an important advocate for preschool education in China.

We were honored to have Deputy Consul General Zhao Yumin and Consul Liu Bo from the Houston Consulate who were able to attend this event and for the uplifting speech that Mr. Zhao gave on Friday night’s opening ceremonies. One thing I have to mention is how much he enjoyed reading a recent US-China Review. He was so complimentary about the interesting articles.

    20th Century European, World Conflicts Dr. Klein Hist-396\696 Spring '09 Syllabus: Part 2: Additional Readings 1) IMPERIALISM AND WORLD POLITICS The standard work on the diplomacy of the imperial era, although old, is William Langer=s Diplomacy of Imperialism ; the most brilliant, is by Hannah Arendt, Imperialism , also found as Pt. 1 of her Origins of Totalitarianism , but it is a difficult work. A literary classic of significance is Joseph Conrad =s. Heart of Darkness . Another, on the internal impact of imperialism is George Orwell =s Burmese Days . A synthesizing book, useful for this course in Winfred Baumgart =s Imperialism . D.K. Fieldhouse puts forward his ideas in Colonialism and The Colonial Empires. The important ideas of John Gallagher and R. Robinson are discussed in William R. Lewis, Imperialism , The Gallagher-Robinson Controversy . See also, J. Gallagher and R. Robinson, Africa and the Victorians . Another writer of intellectual significance is A. P. Thornton, whose works include The Imperial Idea and Its Enemies , Doctrines of Imperialism and Imperialism in the Twentieth Century . Among works that deal with diplomatic features of imperialism are George Monger, The End of Isolation and Ian Nish, The Anglo-Japanese Alliance , both focusing primarily on British policies. For French expansion see John Cady, The Roots of French Imperialism in Eastern Asia , Herbert Priestly, France Overseas ; Stephen Roberts, French Colonial Policy ; Thomas Power, Jules Ferry and French Imperialism . For Germany, A.J.P. Taylor, Germany =s First Bid for Colonies ; and W.O. Aydelotte, Bismarck and British Colonial Policy ; and M.E. Townsend The Rise and Fall of Germany =s Colonial Empire ; and W.D.
