| Synopsis: |
This book deals with the Chinese fascination with their past, and the way in which the past is used in Chinese political struggles. It also traces the attempts to distort China's history. Gungwu examines the work of scholars who were protagonists in the Cultural Revolution. He argues that the way they use the past in polemical debates in support of political factions demonstrates how that past continues to stimulate the Chinese imagination. "To Act is to Know: Chinese Dilemmas" is part of a four-book collection by Wang Gungwu, the pre-eminent authority on China and the Chinese diaspora. |
