Description
The massacre in Tiananmen Square in June 1989 raised issues about the nature of revolution and protest in China and the attitude of China's leaders to calls for reform. This book explores the 1989 student movement in a broad historical and cultural context. Now in a revised and expanded second edition, the book includes discussion of such key issues as the political dimensions of popular culture, the struggle for control of public discourse in the post-1989 era, and Chinese interpretations of the term "revolution". The work is interdisciplinary and brings together anthropologists, historians and political scientists to provide a foundation for rethinking the cultural dimensions of Chinese politics.

Description
This innovative and widely praised volume uses the dramatic occupation of Tiananmen Square as the foundation for rethinking the cultural dimensions of Chinese politics. Now in a revised and expanded second edition, the book includes enhanced coverage of key issues, such as the political dimensions of popular culture (addressed in a new chapter on Chinese rock-and-roll by Andrew Jones) and the struggle for control of public discourse in the post-1989 era (discussed in a new chapter by Tony Saich). Two especially valuable additions to the second edition are art historian Tsao Tsing-yuan's eyewitness account of the making of the Goddess of Democracy, and an exposition of Chinese understandings of the term ?revolution? contributed by Liu Xiaobo, one of China's most controversial dissident intellectuals. The volume also includes an analysis (by noted social theorist and historical sociologist Craig C. Calhoun) of the similarities and differences between the ?new? social movements of recent decades and the ?old? social movements of earlier eras.TEXT CONCLUSION: To facilitate classroom use, the volume has been reorganized into groups of interrelated essays. The editors introduce each section and offer a list of suggested readings that complement the material in that section.
