Richard Curt Kraus is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Oregon and the author of Pianos and Politics in China.
"This remarkably full and efficient account provides a basic
narrative of the Cultural Revolution, and then discusses in greater
depth its politics, culture, economics, foreign relations, and
memory. The book profits from Kraus's particular expertise on
culture and the arts, and does not shy from controversial claims
that are likely to provoke lively discussions." -Joseph Esherick,
Hwei-chih and Julia Hsiu Chair in Chinese Studies, University of
California,
San Diego
"It's just 152 pages, small enough to slip in your back pocket, and
written by a political scientist who knows the complex event in
question through and through, and does a nice job of, among other
things, dealing with the strange shadows it continues to cast on
contemporary Chinese politics." -- Jeffrey Wasserstrom,
Chancellor's Professor and Department of History Chair, University
of California at Irvine
