Description

Long before the dramatic events of 1989, Shanghai students had been at the center of many similar mass movements and political upheavals that wracked China from 1919 on. This book looks at how these students experienced and helped shape the course of the Chinese Revolution. Unlike most previous studies of Chinese youth movements, which have emphasized ideologies and the activities of political parties, this book is primarily concerned with the symbolic meanings of student protests and the process by which students were able to translate collective anger into effective collective action. Narrative chapters provide general information concerning Shanghai and its students during the eras in question and case studies of the most important student-led mass movements of the time. Interspersed are thematic chapters that explore general features of campus unrest throughout the Republican era. Throughout, the book is enriched with material from newly available Chinese documents and from personal interviews with Chinese scholars and participants in various protests.
