EAST 233 - The Long War in Modern China

FC ARHU CD WADV
4 credits
This course explores the ways in which warfare shaped China as a modern nation-state that we know today; it examines a variety of military and ideological conflicts - including the Opium War, Taiping Rebellion, Sino-Japanese Wars, Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War - between individuals, peoples, organizations, empires, and nation-states from the 19th century to the present. In addition, this course investigates people’s life experiences, such as suffering, displacement, and death during wartime. It also pays attention to how warfare shaped gender concepts, environment and ecology, popular culture, and everydayness.
