Cíle předmětu
When the Chinese communists came to power in 1949, they promised to 'turn society upside down'. Efforts to build a communist society created hopes and dreams, coupled with fear and disillusionment. The Chinese people made great efforts towards modernization and social change in this period of transition, but they also experienced traumatic setbacks. Covering the period 1949 to the Reform Era and then tracing the legacy of the Mao era through the 1980s and 1990s, the course focuses on questions of class, gender, ethnicity, and the urban-rural divide in this social history. The courses will analyzes the experiences of a range of social groups under Communist rule - workers, peasants, local cadres, intellectuals, 'ethnic minorities', the old elites, men and women. To understand this tumultuous period, we must recognize the many complex challenges facing the People's Republic.
