EAST 122 - Modern China

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

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.’
