Description

Explore the complex history of state building in Mainland China during a period of massive transition. Following the seizure of control by Communist revolutionaries in 1949, the new regime faced the immense task of managing a vast territory, a large and poorly integrated population, and a struggling economy. This Routledge publication examines the specific methods used by the Chinese Communist Party to establish a Socialist Chinese state. It focuses on how language served as a primary tool in their strategy to manage opposition and implement new political structures. By analyzing the role of communication and rhetoric, this study provides insight into how the party navigated the challenges of nation building between 1949 and 1953. Ideal for students and researchers of East Asian history, politics, and sociology, this book offers a detailed look at the intersection of language and political power during the early years of the Communist regime.
