Detailing the life of ten people who led or engaged with the Chinese Communist Party, one each for one of its ten decades of its existence, these essays reflect on the Party's relentless pursuit of power and extraordinary adaptability through the transformative decades since 1921. Demonstrating that the history of the Chinese Communist Party is not one story but many stories, readers learn about paths not taken, the role of chance, ideas and persons silenced, hopes both lost and fulfilled.  This vivid mosaic of lives and voices draws together one hundred years of modern Chinese history - and illuminates possible paths for China's future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539262284049,"sku":"GOR011860074","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747079037201,"sku":"NGR9781108822619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50371013148945,"sku":"CIN1108822614G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50371019899153,"sku":"CIN1108822614VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020106203409,"sku":"NIN9781108822619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52594534383889,"sku":"NLS9781108822619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1108822614.jpg?v=1751445533"},{"product_id":"living-with-reform-book-timothy-cheek-9781842777237","title":"Living with Reform","description":"China is huge.

The book brings the scholarship on Mao up to date, and its alternative perspectives equip readers to assess for themselves the nature of this mercurial figure and his significance in modern Chinese history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52480258015505,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52480259424529,"sku":"NLS9780521884624","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780521884624.jpg?v=1759849951"},{"product_id":"new-perspectives-on-state-socialism-in-china-book-timothy-cheek-9780765600417","title":"New Perspectives on State Socialism in China","description":"Placing Chinese Community Party history in the realm of social history and comparative politics, this text studies the roots of the policy failures of the late Maoist period and the tenacity of the CCP.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522490560785,"sku":"NLS9780765600417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53013994995985,"sku":"NIN9780765600417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780765600417.jpg?v=1760577528"},{"product_id":"new-perspectives-on-state-socialism-in-china-book-timothy-cheek-9780765600424","title":"New Perspectives on State Socialism in China","description":"Placing Chinese Community Party history in the realm of social history and comparative politics, this text studies the roots of the policy failures of the late Maoist period and the tenacity of the CCP.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52582983106833,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52582983762193,"sku":"NLS9780765600424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780765600424.jpg?v=1761045612"},{"product_id":"reimagining-lyric-diction-courses-leading-change-in-the-classroom-and-beyond-book-timothy-cheek-9781032127743","title":"Reimagining Lyric Diction Courses: Leading Change in the Classroom and Beyond","description":"Drawing on thirty years of teaching experience, author Timothy Cheek demonstrates how a university lyric diction class - traditionally specialized and Eurocentric - can become transformative, through engaging students with other languages and cultures, and promoting diversity, equity, inclusivity, and antiracism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52585336471825,"sku":"NLS9781032127743","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032127743.jpg?v=1761052641"},{"product_id":"chinese-communist-party-book-timothy-cheek-9781108842778","title":"The Chinese Communist Party","description":"Ten engaging personal histories introduce readers to what it was like to live in and with the most powerful political machine ever created: the Chinese Communist Party. Detailing the life of ten people who led or engaged with the Chinese Communist Party, one each for one of its ten decades of its existence, these essays reflect on the Party's relentless pursuit of power and extraordinary adaptability through the transformative decades since 1921. Demonstrating that the history of the Chinese Communist Party is not one story but many stories, readers learn about paths not taken, the role of chance, ideas and persons silenced, hopes both lost and fulfilled.  This vivid mosaic of lives and voices draws together one hundred years of modern Chinese history - and illuminates possible paths for China's future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52598452912401,"sku":"NLS9781108842778","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781108842778.jpg?v=1761076135"},{"product_id":"intellectual-in-modern-chinese-history-book-timothy-cheek-9781107021419","title":"The Intellectual in Modern Chinese History","description":"This vivid narrative history of Chinese intellectuals and public life provides a guide to making sense of China today. Timothy Cheek presents a map and a method for understanding the intellectual in the long twentieth century, from China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese war in 1895 to the 'Prosperous China' since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cheek surveys the changing terrain of intellectual life over this transformative century in Chinese history to enable readers to understand a particular figure, idea or debate. The map provides coordinates to track different times, different social worlds and key concepts. The historical method focuses on context and communities during six periods to make sense of ideas, institutions and individual thinkers across the century. Together they provide a memorable account of the scenes and protagonists, and arguments and ideas, of intellectuals and public life in modern China.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657153933585,"sku":"NLS9781107021419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107021419.jpg?v=1762227420"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-timothy-cheek.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
