HIST376 - Communist China: History and Narrative
Course ID
016961
Course Description
This course looks at history of post-1949 China from two different perspectives. Students will read \"proper\" historical texts: political and intellectual essays, government documents, social reports, and scholarly historical monographs. These will be juxtaposed to different forms of narrative construction: movies, novels, and autobiographical accounts. With this integrated approach, the course examines the history of the People's Republic of China but also the continuous interplay between historiography and politics, history and memory, popular culture and learning.
