China Moderna by Rana Mitter
A concise survey of China’s transformation from a weakened imperial order into a modern global power, tracing nineteenth-century crises and foreign aggression, the collapse of the Qing, the republican and warlord years, the rise of revolutionary movements, Maoist rule and the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution, and the post‑1978 era of economic reform that produced rapid growth and new social and political dilemmas. The book emphasizes both continuities and ruptures in Chinese history, showing how nationalism, ideology, war, and state-building shaped institutions and everyday life, and places China’s contemporary politics, economy, and international role in the context of long-term change.
