Teachers' Schools and the Making of the Modern Chinese Nation-State, 1897-1937
Description
During the educational and social transformations in
politically tumultuous early twentieth-century China, Chinese
teacher's schools played a critical role. They were a
force in the changes that swept Chinese society,
bridging Chinese and Western ideals, empowering women, and
contributing to rural modernization. This innovative account examines
the social and political aspects and impacts of
these schools, their role in a society in
transistion, and their production of grassroots forces that lead
to the Communist Revolution.
