ASCL 64.15 Nationalism and Revolution in China, 1890-Present

This course examines the dynamics of China’s revolutionary ideology in the context of the modern world through the lens of nationalism. By employing a range of discussions of China’s nationalist discourse, we will encounter and construe the voices of various groups of people for whom the rhetoric and ideology of nationalism emerged as a question or dilemma, developed as a motivating force, and fermented as a problem. The course proceeds chronologically, beginning in the late nineteenth century and moving to the present. Each week’s readings, including primary and secondary texts, also discuss particular aspects of nationalism and its connection to China’s revolutionary agenda. Focusing on China and its Asian surroundings, this course will explore major historical themes, including reform versus revolution, intellectuals and society, center and locality, ethnicity and identity, violence and confrontation, foreign relations and national strategies, charisma and mass movements, and nation-building and propaganda. Not open to students who have received credit for HIST 90.16.
