Why has it taken such a different route from its Russian prototype? An answer, Elizabeth Perry suggests, lies in the Chinese Communists' creative development and deployment of cultural resources - during their revolutionary rise to power and afterwards. Skillful "cultural positioning" and "cultural patronage," on the part of Mao Zedong, his comrades and successors, helped to construct a polity in which a once alien Communist system came to be accepted as familiarly "Chinese." Perry traces this process through a case study of the Anyuan coal mine, a place where Mao and other early leaders of the Chinese Communist Party mobilized an influential labor movement at the beginning of their revolution, and whose history later became a touchstone of "political correctness" in the People's Republic of China. Once known as "China's Little Moscow," Anyuan came over time to symbolize a distinctively Chinese revolutionary tradition. Yet the meanings of that tradition remain highly contested, as contemporary Chinese debate their revolutionary past in search of a new political future.Asia--local studies/global themes ;24.CommunismChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryRevolutionsSocial aspectsChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryPolitical cultureChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centurySocial changeChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryCoal minersChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryLabor movementChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryWorking classChinaAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng : West)History20th centuryAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng, China : West)Politics and government20th centuryAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng, China : West)Social conditions20th centuryAnyuan (Jiangxi Sheng, China : West)Economic conditions20th centuryCommunismHistoryRevolutionsSocial aspectsHistoryPolitical cultureHistorySocial changeHistoryCoal minersHistoryLabor movementHistoryWorking classHistory951.2/22Perry Elizabeth J126366MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911094059203321Anyuan4721225UNINA
