Produktbeschreibung

The May Fourth movement is widely considered a watershed in the history of modern China. This book is a social history of radicals based in China's most important hinterland city at this pivotal time, Wuhan. Rahav investigates the cultural-political societies that activist Yun Daiying founded, illuminating the ways in which May Fourth developed and prepared the ground for the mass-party politics of the Nationalist and Communist Parties.
