Content introduction:
After World War II, the modern history of China in the United States is mainly represented by Fei Zhengqing and Joseph Richmond Levenson. They think that China society is basically in a state of stagnation for a long time, lacking the internal motivation to break through the traditional framework, and only after the impact of19th century, can it evolve into a modern society. On the contrary, Cowen thinks that the study of China society should avoid taking the development model of western society as the standard, opposes regarding the history of non-western society as the continuation of western history, advocates taking China itself as the starting point to deeply and accurately explore the ever-changing power and morphological structure within China society, and advocates multi-disciplinary collaborative research. This is the first time that an American historian gives a clear and detailed description of China-centrism, and it is also the first book that critically summarizes the three main modes of research on the modern history of China in the United States in recent decades.
Every historian who studies China should read this book. Cowen revealed the hidden assumptions, which shaped and distorted the American study of 19 and the history of China in the 20th century. He told us that most American historians have asked questions about China's past, and the history they wrote on this basis is not only limited by their own cultural prejudice, but also influenced by China's own historical reality ... an experience of raising consciousness. -Review of American history
