  • HISTORY 221: Modern China

    3.00 Credits
    Reed College

    Full course for one semester. This course examines the numerous transformations in 19th- and 20th-century China from the perspective of both Euro-American and Sinified modernities. We will begin by rethinking both "modernity" and "nation," locating through that process new enigmatic local subjects for historical study, such as nux ing/wo men qingn ian/you th, nongm ing/peasants, or ren min/people. Major discussion topics will include imperialist wars, semicolonialism, and anti-imperialist movements; the rise of a new historical consciousness; constructions of Manchu, Chinese, and other ethnic identities; contested nationalisms; peasant rebellions and recurring political revolutions; cultural iconoclasm and cultural revolution; Communist mobilizing in rural and urban settings; and Chinese socialism and socialist China.
