Chinese Universities on the Global Stage
Institutional reforms in higher education in China have produced impressive results both in the quality of scholarly work and the quantity of degree-holders. The higher-education system effectively complemented China's stellar economic transformation in the post-Mao decades. But it has yet to earn unalloyed admiration in the world of universities. This essay draws on my research as a historian of modern China and my time as faculty adviser on Chi…
Situating Science in the Century since the May Fourth Movement
Shanghai Splendor
Rich with details of everyday life, this multifaceted social and cultural history of China's leading metropolis in the twentieth century offers a kaleidoscopic view of Shanghai as the major site of Chinese modernization. Engaging the entire span of Shanghai's modern history from the Opium War to the eve of the Communist takeover in 1949, Wen-hsin Yeh traces the evolution of a dazzling urban culture that became alternately isolated from and intert…
Knowledge acts in modern China
"This book examines as interrelated processes the reception of foreign systems of thought, the construction of modern academic and professional disciplines, and the emergence of new social identities in twentieth-century China after the fall of the imperial state and with the rise of political parties and mass nationalism"
David B. Honey. The Southern Garden Poetry Society
In the waning years of the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368) a poet, Sun Fen (1335/38–1390/93), built the Southern Garden (Nanyuan) at a site a little beyond the south gate of the small port city Guangzhou. He assembled friends there in the Veranda for Screening the Wind. They enjoyed views of the Pearl River, shared drinks and food, sang about the sights and the seasons, and contributed to the making of the “Southern Muse,” an “epic of Guangdong” with sp…
Visualising China, 1845-1965
How does China project its image in the world? Why and how has the world come to form certain impressions of the Chinese and their way of life? These are issues that preoccupy Chinese citizens in the globalizing 21st century as they travel overseas, riding on the capacity of the country’s newly acquired economic power. In Visualizing China, the authors join forces to launch a broader inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the larger stor…
R. Keith SCHOPPA. In a Sea of Bitterness
The second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) sent an estimated 30 million Chinese civilians to flee from their homes. In Zhejiang, one of the fiercest battlefields and the focus of this book, Japanese attacks not only displaced up to eighty percent of the population in its northern cities and towns but also sent entire institutions—governments, schools, businesses, factories, and newspapers—deep into the mountains of the province's southern interior.…

Becoming Chinese
Becoming ChinesePassages to Modernity and Beyond
This volume evaluates the dual roles of war and modernity in the transformation of twentieth-century Chinese identity. The contributors, all leading researchers, argue that war, no less than revolution, deserves attention as a major force in the making of twentieth-century Chinese history. Further, they show that modernity in material culture and changes in intellectual consciousness should serve as twin foci of a new wave of scholarly analysis. …
Awakening China
Shanghai Modernity
One of the most active areas of research in recent years concerns the urban history of Shanghai in the Republican period. Beginning in the 1980s, scholars have gone beyond an overview of Shanghai's rise as China's leading metropolis in the hundred years after the Opium War (1839–42), and produced richly contextualized analyses on the various aspects of the city's history and society.
Provincial Passages
Revealing information that has been suppressed in the Chinese Communist Party's official history, Wen-hsin Yeh presents an insightful new view of the Party's origins. She moves away from an emphasis on Mao and traces Chinese Communism's roots to the country's culturally conservative agrarian heartland. And for the first time, her book shows the transformation of May Fourth radical youth into pioneering Communist intellectuals from a social and cu…
Middle County Radicalism
The May Fourth Movement of 1919 occupies a special position in scholars’ consideration of modern China as a result of the convergence of two sets of historical constructions. In China, according to official textbooks explaining the rise of the People's Republic that were first promulgated by the new socialist state in the 1950s, 1919 was identified as the very moment of origin when cultural iconoclasm was joined to a political activism of the ant…
Creating Chinese Ethnicity
The Alienated Academy
The enormous changes in twentieth-century Chinese higher education up to the Sino-Japanese War are detailed in this pioneering work. Yeh examines the impact of instruction in English and of the introduction of science and engineering into the curriculum. Such innovations spurred the movement of higher education away from the gentry academies focused on classical studies and propelled it toward modern middle-class colleges with diverse programs. Y…
The Alienated Academy
Dai Li and the Liu Geqing Affair
The nationalist military intelligence service has long been a controversial topic in the history of the Chinese Republic (1912-49). This organization, known as the Military Bureau of Statistics and Investigation (Junshi Weiyuanhui Tongji Diaocha Ju, or Juntong), first impinged on civilian society in the 1930s, when it carried out violent deeds against urban-based intellectuals critical of the Nationalist party's rule. Newspaper writers and editor…
