Twentieth Century
Worlds Blown Apart, 1937–1949
The years 1937–1949 were a pandemic of global violence with Hitler, Mussolini, Togo, and Stalin leading the way. Each had goals that drove them. Hitler wanted to build an Aryan empire using land that stretched from Germany to the Ural Mountains as Lebensraum; and he wanted to destroy the Jews and others from whom he took offense. Mussolini wanted power and an empire in northeast Africa. Though Togo was not a ruler like the others, all Japanese le…

Urbanizing China in War and Peace

From Texas to Zhejiang
Robert Keith Schoppa was educated at Valparaiso University and the University of Hawaii. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1975, where he studied with Albert Feuerwerker and Ernest Young. The bulk of his research has been on China in the twentieth and nineteenth centuries, with a particular focus on Zhejiang province. While most of his work has related to the great issues of Modern China, he has always been interested in th…
In a Sea of Bitterness
The Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1937 led some thirty million Chinese to flee their homes in terror, and live—in the words of artist and writer Feng Zikai—"in a sea of bitterness" as refugees. Keith Schoppa paints a comprehensive picture of the refugee experience in one province—Zhejiang, on the central Chinese coast—where the Japanese launched major early offensives as well as notorious later campaigns. He recounts stories of both heroes and…
Diaries as a Historical Source
Jay Taylor's Important revisionist work is based extensively on Chiang Kaishek's diary. A diary is a curious resource, allegedly straightforward and factfilled, but shaped by memory (if only of what happened hours before), but thereby notoriously slippery and potentially filled with half-truths or worse. When a public figure writes a diary knowing that it is almost certain to become public, he has complete discretion over what he wishes to includ…
Historical Perspectives on Contemporary East Asia
Controlling from Afar
When natural disaster threatened the Grand Canal network in the early nineteenth century, the Qing government faced a crisis of colossal proportions. Leonard discusses the Daoguang Emperor's handling of this crisis within the context of the strategic, institutional, and technological imperatives that had long shaped management of the canal. Her lucid explication is accompanied by maps and drawings that clearly illustrate both the setting and the …
Blood Road
Blood Road is a complex mix of social history, literary analysis, political biography, and murder mystery. It explores and analyzes the social and cultural dynamics of the Chinese revolution of the 1920s by focusing on the mysterious 1928 assassination of Shen Dingyi--revolutionary, landlord, politician, poet, journalist, educator, feminist, and early member of both the Communist and Nationalist parties. The search for Shen's killer details the c…
State, Society, and Land Reclamation on Hangzhou Bay during the Republican Period
Contours of Revolutionary Change in a Chinese County, 1900-1950
Most Local Studies of the "revolution"in pre-1949 China have focused on Communist successes and failures during the 1930s and 1940s in the base areas of north and central China. It seems obvious, however, that in its more complete meaning the Chinese revolution in this century has been more than the story of Communist Party fortunes. On the national level, it has been the process of casting off politically enervated and/or discredited systems (th…

Xiang Lake-Nine Centuries of Chinese Life
Combining evocative historical description and cogent analysis, Song Full of Tears is a chronicle of nine hundred years of life in southeast China. It reveals the workings of Chinese society in times of environmental and military crises, how the Chinese reacted to changes, threats, and opportunities, and how they dealt with one another and the world of nature and the environment. Until the eighteenth century Xiang Lake, in the province of Zheijia…
Xiang Lake
Family, Fields, and Ancestors
This is the first book to synthesize and make available important recent research on China's social and economic history, offering a completely new perspective on the four centuries from the Ming Dynasty to the Communist revolution. Drawing on a wide array of sources, the author clarifies the complexities of Chinese society, covering a wide range of topics from population trends, class structure, and religion to agriculture, commerce, and manufac…
Centre and Province in the People's Republic of China
According to common misconception the Chinese political system is highly centralised. One result of this widely accepted view is that China specialists have often neglected the study of decision-making as a process. Concentrating upon the neighbouring, but contrasting provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou during the decade before the Cultural Revolution, this book examines the interaction between centre and province and, without adopting, a 'centralis…

Chinese Elites and Political Change. Zhejiang Province in the Early Twentieth Century
Province and Nation
Humiliated and shaken by the depredations of the imperialist nations, early twentieth-century Chinese leaders sought the establishment of a strong nation-state. Bitter struggles over the means to reach that goal-primarily over the distribution of political power-ended in the demise of the Ch'ing, the defeat of Yuan Shih-k'ai, and the turmoil of the "warlord" period. After Yuan's death in 1916, the dispute over distribution of power thrust into se…
Local Self-Government in Zhejiang, 1909-1927
During the late Qing and early Republican periods, local self-govemment (difang zizhi) became an omnipresent political catchword. It was a phrase used by liberal constitutionalists and centralizing authoritarians alike. For all its use and misuse, however, the term still represents one of the most highly significant political developments in early twentieth-century China. This essay surveys the course of local self-govemment in the province of Zh…
