This comprehensive but concise narrative of China since the eighteenth century builds its story around the delicate relationship between central government and local communities.
Pamela Kyle Crossley is Professor of Inner Asian, East Asian Intellectual and Chinese History atDartmouth College , New Hampshire
- Rejects the traditional view of China as a wholly harmonious society based on principles of stability - the Unwobbling Pivot of Ezra Pound's translation of the Chinese classic Zhongyong
- Provides an original interpretation, arguing that developments can be explained through an understanding of China's surprising swings between centralization and decentralization, between local initiative and central authoritarianism
- Serves as an introduction to the subject, while readers with a background in Chinese history will find the book offers a personal perspective and addresses long-standing interpretive issues
- Supported by a variety of timelines, maps, illustrations, and extensive notes for further reading
- Places China's history within the context of global change
