From the jacket flap
Beginning with Qing civilization and continuing to contemporary times, volume II brings together key source texts from four centuries of Chinese history, with opening essays by noted China authorities providing context for readers not familiar with the period in question.
Here are just a few of the topics covered in this second volume of Sources of Chinese Tradition:
-- Early Sino-Western contacts in the seventeenth century;
-- Four centuries of Chinese reflections on differences between Eastern and Western civilizations;
-- Nineteenth- and twentieth-century reform movements, with treatises on women's rights, modern science, and literary reform;
-- Controversies over the place of Confucianism in modern Chinese society;
-- The nationalist revolution -- including readings from Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek;
-- The communist revolution -- with central writings by Mao Zedong;
-- Works from contemporary China -- featuring political from Deng Xiaoping and dissidents including Wei Jingsheng.
With more than two hundred selections in lucid, readable translation by today's most renowned experts on Chinese language and civilization, Sources of Chinese Tradition will continue to be recognized as the standard for source readings on Chinese civilization, an indispensable learning tool for scholars and students of Asian civilizations.
