課程簡介:

This course covers the history of China from 1800 to the early years of the People’s Republic. Pressured by both domestic unsettlement and foreign incursions, this period of momentous crises began with the unravelling of the traditional order of imperial China in the nineteenth century, only to be followed by the escalation of revolutionary urgency in the twentieth. By the time of the Communist revolution in 1949, this historical process of “national survival” and “becoming modern” had profoundly and irretrievably transformed China’s political, social, and cultural landscape. In this course, we examine a number of the overarching themes and issues that have preoccupied the Chinese in their march towards modern nationhood.
