The China Quarterly, Run of 3 Issues, 1967

A highly evocative trio of 1967 issues of The China Quarterly, produced at the height of the Cultural Revolution and reflecting contemporary Western attempts to interpret rapidly unfolding events in Communist China. With a strong thematic focus on The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, these issues include contributions from leading scholars examining the Red Guards, Party structure, and the wider ideological and economic impact of Maoist policy. As near-contemporary analyses rather than retrospective studies, they offer a particularly valuable snapshot of academic and political understanding during one of the most turbulent periods in modern Chinese history.
