The stated goal of the Cultural Revolution was to purge the country of bourgeois, capitalistic elements he claimed were threatening genuine communist ideology. Young students formed the Red Guards, vowing to defend the Chairman to the death, but soon rival factions started fighting each other in the streets with semiautomatic weapons in the name of revolutionary purity. As the country descended into chaos, the military intervened, turning China into a garrison state marked by bloody purges that crushed as many as one in fifty people.The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962-1976 draws for the first time on hundreds of previously classified party documents, from secret police reports to unexpurgated versions of leadership speeches. Frank Dikötter uses this wealth of material to undermine the picture of complete conformity that is often supposed to have characterized the last years of the Mao era.Cultural Revolution, The 951.056Dikotter Frank509110Costanzo PaulnrtAUDIO9910149000803321Cultural Revolution, The : A People's History, 1962-19763594861UNINA04870nam 22005775 450 99654315950331620230808014301.03-8394-6639-310.1515/9783839466391(CKB)27068634800041(DE-B1597)644916(DE-B1597)9783839466391(EXLCZ)992706863480004120230808h20232023 fg engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Lower !Garib - Orange River Pasts and Presents of a Southern African Border Region /ed. by Ndidzulafhi Innocent Sinthumule, Romie Nghitevelekwa, Giorgio Miescher, Martha Akawa, Luregn LenggenhagerBielefeld : transcript Verlag, [2023]©20231 online resource (326 p.)Global Studies3-8376-6639-5 Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- The Lower ǃGarib / Orange River: A Cross-border Microregion -- Movements, Networks and Imaginations -- Entangled Networks: Ethnicity, Mobility, and Exchange in the Lower ǃGarib / Orange River Region in the Late 18th Century -- The Visit of the Snake: The Storied Landscape of the Lower ǃGarib in the mid-1830s -- Imaginations and Constructions of Literary Spaces: The Lower ǃGarib / Orange River Region in Literature -- Fritz Isak (Zak) Gomaxnab Dirkse IGabaxab: Teacher and Promoter of Nama Language -- Changing Dynamics of Settler Farming -- The Enigma of the Namaqualand Trekboer -- Permeable Borders: Configurations of whiteness and Boer Commercial Ranching in Southern Namibia -- Swimming Upstream: From ‘Poor-Whites’ to ‘Coloureds’ along South Africa’s Lower Orange River -- Monika and Willem Basson: Farming and Living along the River -- Living along the River -- Onseepkans: Irrigation, Removals and Resistance in the Borderlands of Namibia and South Africa -- Company Hegemony and Social Relations in Oranjemund: The Paterson Job Grading System and the 1970s Town Transformations -- Understanding the Relationships between the ǀAi-ǀAis Richtersveld Transfrontier Park (ARTP) and Local Communities of ǁGamaseb Conservancy in Namibia -- Settling in the Mining Town: An Account of Women linked to Migrant Workers in Oranjemund, Namibia -- Anne-Marie IssaBrown Garises: Curator of the Keetmanshoop Museum -- Contested Land, Water and Borders -- The Orange River Boundary and the Ongoing Border Dispute Between Namibia and South Africa -- Contesting Control over the Namaqualand Landscape through Property -- Rethinking River Resilience: The Lower ǃGarib / Orange River -- Paulus Johannes: Park ranger -- Interdisciplinary Conversations -- Archaeological Space and Time along the Lower Orange River and Coast: Narratives of Gudrun Corvinus -- Landscape Archives, Aerial Photography and Geomorphic Change along the Lower Orange River -- The Water Quality of the Lower Orange River and its Implications on Human and River Health -- Epilogue -- Authors and EditorsThe Lower !Garib, or Orange River flows through the historical Namaqualand and since 1990 has formed the international border between Namibia and South Africa.
