"Schoppa presents a fast-paced narrative of the last century using well-chosen excerpts from key primary sources.... Digestible and understandable....Captions, selected quotations in sidebars, marginal glosses, text and picture credits, and a pronunciation guide all add to this well-organizedbook's utility and educational value." -- School Library Journal, Schoppa presents a fast-paced narrative of the last century usingwell-chosen excerpts from key primary sources: speeches, treaties, journalism,poems, letters, laws, etc., tied together with concise and informative editorialcommentary. The picture on the front cover-a bridge connecting old and newChina-exemplifies the book's visual component; it is replete withblack-and-white cartoons, posters, photos, and reproductions, all of which aretelling and memorable. Relevant and important portions of text have beencondensed from lengthy tomes into digestible and understandable pieces. Thefinal chapter, on China and the world today, partially sums up what has precededit. Captions, selected quotations in sidebars, marginal glosses, text andpicture credits, and a pronunciation guide all add to this well-organized book'sutility and educational value. -- School Library Journal|9780195147452|, "Well-chosen and illuminating primary documents...accompany a fast-paced narrative in this attractive volume."--School Library Journal Curriculum Connections, "Well-chosen and illuminating primary documents...accompany a fast-pacednarrative in this attractive volume."--School Library Journal CurriculumConnections, "A fast-paced narrative of the last century using well-chosen excerpts from key primary sources: speeches, treaties, journalism, poems, letters, laws, etc., tied together with concise and informative editorial commentary.

Synopsis
The twentieth century was a time of great change in China-for its government, economy, culture, and everyday life. It was a period of revolutions, and Twentieth Century China chronicles these uprisings with the words and images of the participants. The manifesto delivered by Sun Yat-sen in 1905, for example, details his plan to oust the Manchus; an editorial in a student journal encourages the activities of the May Fourth Movement in 1919; a 1933 speech by Chiang Kai-shek condemns China's enemies, the Communists and the Japanese; and the lyrics of a Chinese rock star give voice to the student demonstrations at the end of the 1980s. This is the story of the people-leaders and followers-whose decisions propelled modern Chinese history in erratic directions. Mao Zedong's personal physician recalls the phenomenon of the backyard steel furnaces and the changes they brought to the Chinese landscape during Mao's Great Leap Forward, a poem written in 1979 expresses anger toward a general who destroyed a kindergarten to build a mansion on its site, and the box from the Chinese version of Monopoly, introduced in 1987, playfully illustrates the economic reforms of Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin. Using a wide variety of primary sources, such as official reports and public statements, eyewitness and participant accounts, newspaper articles, political posters, cartoons, poetry, songs, and advertisements, R. Keith Schoppa paints a picture of a society undergoing dramatic changes, both political and social. Taken together, these documents tell a dramatic and often violent tale, alternately soaring with hope and plunging into deep despair, of a country undergoing a thorough transformation-a transformation that affects the world at large. Book jacket., In its period of slow decline from the late 18th into the early 20th century and throughout its 20th century revolution, one of the most important problems facing individual Chinese and China as a nation was choosing appropriate political, social, cultural, and economic identities as contexts and situations changed. This documentary history of 20th century China begins with the turn-of-the-century Boxer uprising to set the stage for understanding the choices at stake for 20th century Chinese. It then focuses on the always-dramatic choices of identity that have continually confronted the Chinese. In many cases these choices have meant life or death. Above all, this is a story of the people whose choices propelled modern Chinese history. It is a dramatic tale, often bloody and violent, alternately soaring with hope and plunging into bleak despair. It compels our interest because of its importance for the world today; because it is one of world history's greatest revolutions; and because it provides an extraordinarily interesting study of the processes that an ancient culture undergoes in transforming itself into that which we call "modern." Twentieth-Century China: A History in Documents uses an exceptional range of primary sources, including government edicts, political cartoons, poetry, political manifestos, essays, fiction, magazine covers and advertisements, wills, trial transcripts, speeches, statistics, press releases, and even Chinese rock lyrics. The entire book is profusely illustrated with graphics that themselves serve as documents, and there is also a picture essay. Back matter will include a chronology, further reading, and index.
