Based on thirty years of archival and documentary research and numerous field trips to the region, Joseph W. Esherick's book examines the origins of the Communist revolution in Northwest China, from the political, social, and demographic changes of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), to the intellectual ferment of the early Republic, the guerrilla movement of the 1930s, and the replacement of the local revolutionary leadership after Mao and the Center arrived in 1935. In Accidental Holy Land, Esherick compels us to consider the Chinese Revolution not as some inevitable peasant response to poverty and oppression, but as the contingent product of local, national, and international events in a constantly changing milieu. 606 $aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & Socialism$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Asia / China$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Asia$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 607 $aShan Gan Ning Bian Qu (China)$xHistory 615 7$aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & Socialism 615 7$aHistory / Asia / China 615 7$aHistory / Asia 615 0$aHistory. 676 $a335.43/45 700 $aEsherick$b Joseph$0242448 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583600803321 996 $aAccidental Holy Land$92901116 997 $aUNINA
