History in modern China is not only a mirror to contemporary culture, politics, and society. In the chapters of this Sage Handbook, it also serves as a prism through which we view China’s understanding of itself and the world, its experience in revolution and reform, and the depth and diversity of its narratives over time. Representing the world’s leading experts and covering a wide range of topics—including official and unofficial texts and sources—these essays will be an indispensable guide for every student and scholar of China.
The Sage Handbook of Interpreting Chinese History offers a fresh and insightful exploration of how history-writing has been continually reshaped within China’s shifting political landscapes. By interweaving official narratives, popular culture, and gendered perspectives, the volume illuminates the dynamic interplay between memory, identity, and power.
