Beschreibung:
R. Keith Schoppa is Professor of History and Chair of both the Department of History and the East Asian Studies Program at Valparaiso University. He is the author of Chinese Elites and Political Change (1982) and Xiang Lake:Nine Centuries of Chinese Life (1989).
A complex mix of social history, literary analysis, political biography, and murder mystery, Blood Road explores and analyzes the social and cultural dynamics of the Chinese revolution of the 1920s by focusing on the mysterious 1928 assassination of Shen Dingyi -- revolutionary, landlord, politician, poet, journalist, educator, feminist, and early member of both the Communist and Nationalist parties. The search for Shen's killer details the contours of revolutionary change in different spatial contexts -- metropolitan Shanghai, the provincial capital Hangzhou, and Shen's home village of Yaqian. Blood Road tells the story of people linked in various relationships who were thrust, often without choice, into treacherous revolutionary currents that shaped, twisted, and destroyed their lives.
