China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution: Master Narratives and Post-Mao Counternarratives (World Social Change) : Treating China’s Cultural Revolution as much more than a political event, this innovative volume explores its ideological dimensions. The contributors focus especially on the CR’s discourse of heroism and messianism and its demonization of the enemy as reflected in political practice, official literature, and propaganda art, arguing that these characteristics can be traced back to hitherto-neglected undercurrents of Chinese tradition. Moreover, while most studies of the Cultural Revolution are content to point to the discredited cult of heroism and messianism, this book also explores the alternative discourses that have flourished to fill the resulting vacuum. The contributors analyze the intense intellectual and artistic ferment in post-Mao China that embody resistance to CR ideology, as well as the urgent quest for authentic individuality, new forms of social cohesion, and historical truth.

Family of Fallen Leaves: Stories of Agent Orange by Vietnamese Writers

Filed under: Lien Writer — Tags: , , , , , , — veabiqec @ 3:21 am

Family of Fallen Leaves: Stories of Agent Orange by Vietnamese Writers :

This collection of twelve short stories and one essay by Vietnamese writers reveals the tragic legacy of Agent Orange and raises troubling moral questions about the physical, spiritual, and environmental consequences of war.

 

Between 1962 and 1971, the U.S. military sprayed approximately twenty million gallons of Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants on Vietnam and Laos, exposing combatants and civilians from both sides to the deadly contaminant dioxin. Many of the exposed, and later their children, suffered from ailments including diabetes, cancer, and birth defects.

 

This remarkably diverse collection represents a body of work published after the early 1980s that stirred sympathy and indignation in Vietnam, pressuring the Vietnamese government for support. “Thirteen Harbors” intertwines a woman’s love for a dioxin victim with ancient Cham legend and Vietnamese folk wisdom. “A Child, a Man” explores how our fates are bound with those of our neighbors. In “The Goat Horn Bell” and “Grace,” families are devastated to find the damage from Agent Orange passed to their newborn children. Eleven of the pieces appear in English for the first time, including an essay by Minh Chuyen, whose journalism helped publicize the Agent Orange victims’ plight.

 

The stories in Family of Fallen Leaves are harrowing yet transformative in their ability to make us identify with the other.

Politics and Literature in Shanghai: The Chinese League of Left-Wing Writers, 1930-1936 (Studies on East Asia)

Filed under: Lien Writer — Tags: , , , , , , , , — veabiqec @ 10:42 am

Politics and Literature in Shanghai: The Chinese League of Left-Wing Writers, 1930-1936 (Studies on East Asia) : Although it existed only from 1930 until 1936, the Shanghai-based League of Left Wing Writers organized by the Chinese Communist Party occupies an important place in the development of China’s 20th-century politics and literature. It was politically important because it represented the CCP’s major organizational force in urban China during 1927-1936 when it faced annihilation by Chiang Kai-Shek. Its end coincided with the resurrected United Front between the Communist and Nationalist Parties. However, the League was also important because many of those who were later to assume leading roles in the cultural affairs of the People’s Republic of China first came to prominence through its activities. This history of the League’s origins, organization and activities presents an account, drawing on contemporary materials and sources newly-released by the CCP. It focuses on the theoretical and practical issues faced by left-wing intellectuals during a period of suppression, as well as on the personalities involved.
