The Unknown Cultural Revolution: Life and Change in a Chinese Village | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dongping Han’s The Unknown Cultural Revolution: Life and Change in a Chinese Village offers a perspective on China’s Cultural Revolution that differs sharply from the familiar accounts centred on political turmoil, factional conflict and violence in the cities. Drawing upon his own experience of growing up in Jimo County in Shandong Province, as well as interviews and archival material, Han examines the period from the standpoint of rural people and their social and economic experiences.

Mao’s Critique of Soviet Socialist Construction and the Sino-Soviet Ideological Split | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and the Soviet Union underwent a profound transformation during the 1950s and early 1960s.

More than fifteen years later, the digital environment has changed considerably. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has introduced another dimen
Marx on Oriental Societies and the Critiques of His Framework | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Karl Marx’s writings on Asian societies have generated sustained discussion within Marxist, post-colonial and regional historical scholarship. His reflections on what came to be associated with the Asiatic Mode of Production and Oriental Despotism sought to explain the distinctive economic and political structures that Marx believed characterized many societies outside the European historical experience.
