By considering Cultural Revolution propaganda art--music, stage works, prints and posters, comics, and literature--from the point of view of its \u003ci\u003elongue durée\u003c\/i\u003e, Barbara Mittler suggests it was able to build on a tradition of earlier art works, and this allowed for its sedimentation in cultural memory and its proliferation in contemporary China. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking the aesthetic experience of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) as her base, Mittler juxtaposes close readings and analyses of cultural products from the period with impressions given in a series of personal interviews conducted in the early 2000s with Chinese from diverse class and generational backgrounds. By including much testimony from these original voices, Mittler illustrates the extremely multifaceted and contradictory nature of the Cultural Revolution, both in terms of artistic production and of its cultural experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Mittler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674065816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674065819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.30w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013","brand":"Barbara Mittler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086758424831,"sku":"9780674065819","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a485834f-6f3e-4314-af2f-a3ae1215317c.jpg?v=1769096405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-continuous-revolution-barbara-mittler-9780674065819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
