Going Beyond Regional Studies: a Collection of Western Theories on Modern Chinese History
by Dong Yue
About This Novel
The study of modern Chinese history in the United States entered the academic world through "area studies" and through internal challenges and debates, it has consciously "stepped out of area studies" in the past half century. Criticisms of the intentional and unintentional inertia brought about by regional studies continue today. This book collects 12 articles on China's modern history published in important English-language publications in the past 20 years. The authors of the article are scholars who are still active in academia in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The whole book can be divided into four parts: world, region and country, revolution as a form of historical change, history of cities and daily life, and the continuation of society and history. It roughly reflects the academic concern after "going beyond regional studies".
