Re-envisioning the Chinese Revolution by Ching Kwan Lee
Popular memories of the revolutionary past have become a political and cultural force and China. Traumatic memory and active criticism make up part of this wave, but so does nostalgia for collective responsibility and for feelings of freedom and progress.
"This is a smart, well-edited book... The consistently hight quality of these articles is worth remarking on: these are sound studies, drawing on substantial empirical research, cast and edited to address a theme of key significance efficiently ....

"This is a timely study, which will be useful for students of contemporary China in different fields. In particular, it will be of great assistance to those who are interested in the origin and growth today of China's developmental discourses, which were given birth and sanctioned by the state."—Xin Liu, UC Berkeley
