Though he retains an immense symbolic importance within China's national mythology, the rise of a capitalist economy has seen the ruling class become increasingly ambivalent towards him. And while he continues to be a highly visible and contentious presence in Chinese public life, Mao's enduring influence has been little understood in the West. In China and the New Maoists, Kerry Brown and Simone van Nieuwenhuizen look at the increasingly vocal elements who claim to be the true ideological heirs to Mao, ranging from academics to cyberactivists, as well as at the state's efforts to draw on Mao's image as a source of legitimacy. This is a fascinating portrait of a country undergoing dramatic upheavals while still struggling to come to terms with its past." -- Publisher's description 410 0$aAsian arguments. 606 $aCommunism$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1949- 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory 615 7$aPolitics & government 676 $a320.53/230951 700 $aBrown$b Kerry$f1967-$01631288 702 $aNieuwenhuizen$b Simone van 801 0$bYDXCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813738903321 996 $aChina and the New Maoists$93970023 997 $aUNINA
