Beginning with the collapse of the Ming dynasty and the last
flourishing of imperial China under the Qing, this course
explores the various social, economic and political forces
confronting China in the 19th and 20th centuries. Compelled
toward change, China over the past two centuries presents a
truly epic story, featuring both grand (and utopian) visions
and unimaginable hardships. One of the themes of this course
will be to examine what the Chinese themselves have had to
say: how they have struggled to come to terms with their own
cultural history and to redefine what it means to be China
(and Chinese) in the modern world.
