Abstract
AbstractThis article surveys the recent scholarship on China's Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) from a variety of disciplines. It selects three keywords – culture, class, and revolution – and shows how contemporary research has reframed our understanding of each concept. Studies of culture argue that Cultural Revolution culture was an integral part of China's 20th century project of modernization, examinations of class challenge the role of class status in explaining action while offering new frameworks for understanding class, and analyses of the “revolution” in the Cultural Revolution question how we locate it within the history of 20th century China.
