Curating Revolution: Politics on Display in Mao’s China - A Review

December 14, 2018

The New York Times Chinese edition recently published a book review of Professor Denise Y. Ho’s Curating Revolution: Politics on Display in Mao’s China (Cambridge University Press, 2018).  Comparing the book’s study of Shanghai’s First Party Congress Site to commemoration at Liangjiahe Village—the place where President Xi Jinping was a sent-down youth—reviewer Yifu Dong (BR ’17) examines the paradoxes of Mao-era political propaganda, as well as its legacies in China today.
