- Summary:
- Drawing from a wide array of original sources, Adrian Chan produces a fascinating account of the evolution of Marxism in China.
- Chan posits a tension between the proponents of the Marxian and the Scientific Marxist-Leninist versions of communism and challenges the received view that Chinese communism was a pale Soviet model contaminated by traditional Chinese ideas. This controversial and extraordinary analysis confronts traditional scholarship of the West, which is still overshadowed by the Cold War, and that of China, which is burdened by party orthodoxy.
