Description:

Throughout Chinese history, the Yangtze River and the cities in its basin have played a formidable role. The river was a channel of trade and political influence: Cities that formed on its banks were marketing centers, hubs of cultural activity, and administrative centers. The importance of the Yangtze was reinforced in the 20th century, and since the reforms mounted in China from the 1980's the river and its cities have taken a place at the core of China's economic miracle. This course will examine the historical emergence of the cities we visit during the summer and their transformation from the era of the Opium War to the present. 1.00 units, Lecture
