Peasant and Woman in Maoist Revolutionary Theory, 1920s–1950s
A Fool by Any Other Name
Greek άλαζών may be an adaptation of Akkadian aluzinnu, “foolish boaster.” The lack of another convincing etymology for the Greek word, the similarity of the figures described by both words, and the possible contact between Babylonia/Assyria and Greece all support this conclusion
World Environmental History
Environmental and world history emerged and established themselves as innovative subfields of history over the past thirty years, each making important contributions to historians' understanding of historical processes. Recently, several important books have begun to explore the ways in which a combined "world environmental history" might contribute to our understanding of the past. By having the entire world as the unit of analysis, and the mutu…
Asian Tigers
In nature, tigers have existed only in Asia. Over the millennia, Asian peoples have had much interaction with tigers, and those experiences have come to influence the patterns of everyday life, especially for villagers. In short, humans and tigers have a long history in Asia. Through case studies of China, the Malay world, and India from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, this article argues that Asian rulers used tigers—or more properly, …

Challenging the conventional wisdom conveyed by Western environmental historians about China, this book examines the correlations between economic and environmental changes in the southern Chinese provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi from 1400 to 1850, but also provides substantial background from 2CE on.

Rice Prices, Food Supply, and Market Structure in Eighteenth-Century South China
RICE PRICES, FOOD SUPPLY, AND MARKET STRUCTURE IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY SOUTH CHINA* Robert B.

Rural Revolution in South China. Peasants and the Making of History in Haifeng County, 1570-1930
Class relations and the origins of rural revolution in a South China County
To understand revolutions, we need to understand social structures. That is Theda Skocpol's message in States and Social Revolutions. However obvious that may seem, analyses of the Chinese revolution more often than not ignore structural questions and focus instead on the politics of revolution. This is true not only of adherents of “organizational weapon” theories, but also of more sympathetic treatments of the Chinese revolution. To focus on re…
