{"product_id":"justice-after-mao-daniel-leese-9781009261296","title":"Justice After Mao: The Politics of Historical Truth in the People's Republic of China","description":"How can a dictatorship cope with the legacy of injustices and atrocities committed in its own name? This was one of the pressing questions the Chinese Communist Party leadership faced after the death of Mao Zedong in September 1976 and the end of the Cultural Revolution. This collection presents ground-breaking, original research to address the question of historical justice in the Party's attempt to survive politically despite rampant factionalism and widespread political persecution. The volume traces complex questions of property restitution, fostering reconciliation within local communities, and establishing new standards of truth. Contributions also investigate how various actors remember the period in the present. The post-Mao period provides a lens through which to view strategies of coping with a violent past under state socialism, highlighting how selectively applied approaches now associated with the concept of transitional justice may even serve to strengthen rather than subvert authoritarian rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Leese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009261290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009261296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Daniel Leese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311042162943,"sku":"9781009261296","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa6d8a82-a6bc-4f69-9430-d9df97dd38f3.jpg?v=1695720775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/justice-after-mao-daniel-leese-9781009261296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
