China’s Intellectuals

Merle Goldman was Professor of History, Emerita, at Boston University and Associate of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.

In her marvelously lucid, drily witty, and extremely insightful [book]…Prof. Merle Goldman guides us campaign by campaign through the murky waters of…Chinese history, carefully pointing out at every turn the ways in which the political and intellectual realms (separable in theory but not in practice in contemporary China) have been related to one another… A truly masterful treatment of a complex and important subject.
