Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
As China moves forward, it often looks back to its past. History has shaped both China's current developments and the way that many make sense of these transformations. In surveying this history from the seventeenth century to the present, this course aims to provide an understanding of the changes, continuities, and contingencies in the making of modern China. Topics will include the formation and fall of imperial power under the Qing Dynasty, the challenges of building a nation under the Republic, and the patterns and contradictions of social revolution under state socialism. Attention will also be given to issues of economy, environment, ethnicity, gender, and the politics of history. This course is open to all students and assumes no prior knowledge of Chinese culture, history, or language.
