Description:

In spring 1989, millions of Chinese took to the streets calling for political reforms. The nationwide demonstrations and the college students' hunger strike on Tiananmen Square ended with the People's Liberation Army firing on unarmed civilians. Student leaders and intellectuals were purged, imprisoned, or exiled. ?Tiananmen? remains a political taboo in China today despite the Tiananmen Mothers' struggle to keep the forbidden memory alive. This course will explore the Tiananmen Movement in history and memory.
