Twentieth Century China

Using a wide variety of primary sources, such as official reports and public statements, articles, political posters, cartoons, poetry, songs, and advertisements, R. Keith Schoppa paints a picture of the dramatic changes, both political and social, in twentieth-century China. Taken together, these documents tell a dramatic and often violent tale, alternately soaring with hope and plunging with despair, of a country undergoing a thorough transformation-a transformation that affects
the world at large.
