Raised to be "flowers of the nation," the first generation born after the founding of the People's Republic of China was united in its political outlook and at first embraced the Cultural Revolution of 1966, but then split into warring factions. Investigating the causes of this fracture, Guobin Yang argues that Chinese youth engaged in an imaginary revolution from 1966 to 1968, enacting a political mythology that encouraged violence as a way to prove one's revolutionary credentials. This same competitive dynamic would later turn the Red Guard against the communist government.Throughout the 1970s, the majority of Red Guard youth were sent to work in rural villages, where they developed an appreciation for the values of ordinary life. From this experience, an underground cultural movement was born. Rejecting idolatry, these relocated revolutionaries developed a new form of resistance that signaled a new era of enlightenment, culminating in the Democracy Wall movement of the late 1970s and the Tiananmen protest of 1989. Yang's final chapter on the politics of history and memory argues that contemporary memories of the Cultural Revolution are factionalized along these lines of political division, formed fifty years before.

The growing subfield of media activism studies has gained wide attention in recent years, but little consensus exists regarding its central questions and concerns. This book begins to chart an evolving research agenda by providing a cross-section of provocative work in this area. Victor Pickard and Guobin Yang have assembled essays by leading scholars and activists to provide case studies of feminist, technological, and political interventions during different historical periods and at local, national, and global levels. Looking at the underlying theories, histories, politics, ideologies, tactics, strategies and aesthetics, the book takes an expansive view of media activism. It explores how varieties of activism are mediated through communication technologies, how activists deploy strategies for changing the structures of media systems, and how governments and corporations seek to police media activism. From memes to zines, hacktivism to artivism, this volume considers activist practices involving both older kinds of media and newer digital, social, and network-based forms. The book captures an exciting moment in the evolution of media activism studies and offers an invaluable guide to a vibrant and evolving field of research.

"The Chinese Communist Party is a central and overwhelming force in the country. It "leads all"--fulfilling a slogan favored by Mao Zedong and revived by Xi Jinping. The Communist Party and its policies reach every aspect of life in China and dominate some. Under the party's leadership, China's wealth and power have risen dramatically. It is the world's only near-peer of the United States and can influence international institutions, rules, and norms. With the party having celebrated the centenary of its founding in 2021 and looking forward to marking a century of rule in the People's Republic of China in 2049, this book offers a timely examination of how the party has led China and how it might do so in the future. In chapters written by sixteen eminent experts, the volume addresses important questions about the party: Has Xi Jinping's tenure brought a fundamental increase in the pursuit, or achievement, of party control? How do internal party dynamics and the party's control over the the levers of state power and its penetration of social and economic institutions implement and shape the party's rule and its effects in China and beyond? How serious are the threats the party faces from such factors as Xi's approach to power, corruption in the party's ranks, a rapidly changing society, a fraught international environment, or an overly ambitious agenda for party control? The Party Leads All offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the Chinese Communist Party's leadership of the Chinese economy, government, civil society, legal system, military affairs, and foreign policy. It is essential reading for all scholars, students, and policymakers interested in contemporary China"--Back cover.

Popular memories of the revolutionary past have become a political and cultural force in China. Traumatic memory and active criticism make up part of this wave, but so does nostalgia for collective responsibility and for feelings of freedom and progress. Re-envisioning the Chinese Revolution is the first comprehensive study of contemporary memories of China's revolutionary epoch, from the time of Japanese imperialism through the Cultural Revolution. Path-breaking in its scope, the research in this volume carefully examines the memories of a wide range of social groups, including disenfranchised workers and rural women, who have often been neglected in scholarship. Looking at a variety of embodiments of memories - interviews, films, photo exhibits, museums, and websites - the authors, ranging from anthropologists to film studies specialists, present original research on the idea of “memories as a cultural and political phenomenon.” The result is an unprecedented and illuminating reexamination of the memory of, and occasionally nostalgia for, the Chinese Revolution.
