Modern China and the New World by Randall Doyle,Zhang Boshu Pdf

Modern China and the New World focuses upon a few of the main topics associated with China's recent rise to global prominence. Professor Randall Doyle writes about the impact that China will have on the geopolitical balance throughout the Asia-Pacific region. He also touches upon the effect that China's new power will have on U.S.-China relations in the 21st century. Finally, Professor Doyle writes about the continued role and influence that Dr. Henry Kissinger has upon interpreting and guiding modern U.S. policy concerning China, the Asia- Pacific region and America's role in global affairs in the 21st century. Professor Boshu Zhang writes about China's continuing struggles with Tibet and the Dalai Lama. This topic has remained extremely sensitive for the Chinese leadership. He addresses the difficulties and contraditions existing within the Chinese Communist Party on the issue of Tibetan autonomy. Finally, Professor Zhang writes about the existing political system within China today. And, the future possibility of some democratic reforms occuring and transforming Chinese society itself. However, Zhang does indicate that the democratic process in China will be facing several domestic challenges and roadblocks along the way toward achieving a political reformation. Professors Randall Doyle and Boshu Zhang have addressed these extremely important topics within their respective chapters by incorporating not just tradtional reading and research of their chosen subjects, but by also intergrating their personal experiences from living and traveling within China.

A Sociology of Modern China by Jean-Louis Laurent Rocca Pdf

Jean-Louis Rocca's admirably concise A Sociology of Modern China wears its scholarship lightly and paints an intimate and complex portrait of Chinese society, all the while avoiding clichés and simplifications. He delves into China's history and examines the country's many different social strata so as to better understand the enormous challenges and opportunities with which its people are confronted. After discussing the long march toward reform and the crises along the way - among them the 1989 protests which culminated in the events in Tiananmen Square and elsewhere - Rocca dedicates the second half of the book to the major questions facing the country (or, at the very least, its political elites) today: new forms of social stratification; the interaction between the market and the state; growing individualism; and the pressures exerted by social conflict and political change. In eschewing culturalist visions, Rocca thoroughly and successfully deconstructs received wisdom about Chinese society to reveal a thriving nation and its people.

Pioneers of Modern China by Khoon Choy Lee Pdf

Amongst the Chinese exists great cultural variety and diversity. The Cantonese care more for profit than face and are good businessmen, whereas Fujian R‚n are frank, blunt and outspoken but daring and generous. Beijing R‚n are more aristocratic and well-mannered, having stayed in a city ruled by emperors of different dynasties. Shanghai R‚n are more enterprising, adventurous and materialistic but less aristocratic, having been at the center of pre-war gangsterism. Hainan R‚n are straightforward, blunt and stubborn. Hunan R‚n are more warlike and have produced more marshals and generals than any other province.Pioneers of Modern China is a fascinating book that paints a vivid picture of the unique cultural characteristics and behavior of the Chinese in the various provinces. Using leaders in the modern history of China, such as Sun Yat Sen, Chiang Kai Shek, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao as representatives, it offers an in-depth look into the psyche of the Chinese people. It also pays tribute to writers, painters and kungfu experts, who have helped to develop the country socially and artistically.

The Power of Print in Modern China by Robert Culp Pdf

Amid early twentieth-century China’s epochal shifts, a vital and prolific commercial publishing industry emerged. Recruiting late Qing literati, foreign-trained academics, and recent graduates of the modernized school system to work as authors and editors, publishers produced textbooks, reference books, book series, and reprints of classical texts in large quantities at a significant profit. Work for major publishers provided a living to many Chinese intellectuals and offered them a platform to transform Chinese cultural life. In The Power of Print in Modern China, Robert Culp explores the world of commercial publishing to offer a new perspective on modern China’s cultural transformations. Culp examines China’s largest and most influential publishing companies—Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company, and World Book Company—during the late Qing and Republican periods and into the early years of the People’s Republic. He reconstructs editors’ cultural activities and work lives as a lens onto the role of intellectuals in cultural change. Examining China’s distinct modes of industrial publishing, Culp explains the emergence of the modern Chinese intellectual through commercial and industrial processes rather than solely through political revolution and social movements. An original account of Chinese intellectual and cultural history as well as global book history, The Power of Print in Modern China illuminates the production of new forms of knowledge and culture in the twentieth century.

China on the Sea by Zheng Yangwen Pdf

This volume challenges the “Walled Kingdom” perspective. China reached out to the seas far more actively than historians have allowed, while the maritime world shaped China, Qing China in particular, much more than the continental world. It gave birth to and defined Chinese modernity.
