Authority Participation and Cultural Change in China: Essays by a European Study Group

by Stuart R. Schram (Editor), Stuart R. Schram (Introduction), Marianne Bastid (Contribution by), John Gardner (Contribution by), Jack Gray (Contribution by)

Overview

This 1973 volume is a fascinating collection of original studies on the immediate consequences and the likely long-term effects of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the enormous social and political upheaval initiated by Mao Tse-Tung in 1966. The authors discuss a series of connected problems, all intimately related to the central theme of leadership and participation in the Chinese pattern of economic development and social change. The collection is edited by Stuart Schram, who also provides a long introduction; he puts the Cultural Revolution in the broad historical perspective of the Chinese revolution as it has taken shape since the end of the nineteenth century.
