EAST 122 - Modern China

3-4 SS, CD, WR (4th hour option)
Second Semester. This history of China from the founding of the Manchu Qing (Ch’ing) dynasty in 1644 takes a China-centered perspective. Along with political and institutional developments, long-term changes in the society and economy of China are stressed, and the indigenous bases for those changes are explored so that China’s 20th-century revolutionary upheaval will be seen to be more than a “response to the Western impact” or an “emergence into modernity.”
