China's convulsive Cultural Revolution was conceived in 1966 as a 'great revolution that would touch the people to their very souls'. In this volume, leading social and political scientists, historians and anthropologists examine the long-lasting consequences of the political, social, economic and cultural upheaval unleashed by Mao Zedong.
