Course Description:
This second half of the China survey covers the period between the establishment of the multi-ethnic Qing empire to the present. As we go through the last four hundred years of Chinese history, we will consider several questions: How did the experience of the Qing, the last imperial dynasty, influence the trajectory of modern China? How did China grapple with modernity? Why is modern Chinese history marked with upheaval and revolution? How do the global and the local intertwine in the making of modern China? In the process, we will look at the kinds of historiographical debates that have animated scholarship, primarily in English, about early modern and modern China. |
