Jeffrey A. Javed examines the Chinese Communist Party's mass mobilization of violence during its land reform campaign in the early 1950s, one of the most violent and successful state-building efforts in history. Using an array of novel archival, documentary, and quantitative historical data, this book illustrates that China's land reform campaign was not just about economic redistribution but rather part of a larger, brutally violent state-building effort to delegitimize the new party-state's internal rivals and establish its moral authority. Righteous Revolutionaries argues that the Chinese Party-state simultaneously removed perceived threats to its authority at the grassroots and bolstered its legitimacy through a process called moral mobilization. This mobilization process created a moral boundary that designated a virtuous ingroup of "the masses" and a demonized outgroup of "class enemies," mobilized the masses to participate in violence against this broadly defined outgroup, and strengthened this symbolic boundary by making the masses complicit in state violence. Righteous Revolutionaries shows how we can find traces of moral mobilization in China today under Xi Jinping's rule. In an era where states and politicians regularly weaponize moral emotions to foment intergroup conflict and violence, understanding the dynamics of violent mobilization and state authority are more relevant than ever before. 410 0$aChina understandings today. 606 $aPolitical socialization$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLand reform$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMoral education$zChina$xHistory 606 $aIntergroup relations$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDominant-party systems$xPsychological aspects 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1949- 607 $aChina$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPolitical socialization$xHistory 615 0$aLand reform$xHistory 615 0$aMoral education$xHistory. 615 0$aIntergroup relations$xHistory 615 0$aDominant-party systems$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a951.05 700 $aJaved$b Jeffrey A$01255579 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 912 $a9910591159003321 996 $aRighteous Revolutionaries$92911058 997 $aUNINA
