Description

Storming the Heavens by Jenny Clegg is a landmark Marxist study of China's agrarian question. Drawing on decades of research, it examines land, class and revolution, analysing peasant struggles, imperialism, and the Communist Party's evolving strategy. Essential for understanding China's revolutionary path and Marxism's adaptation to Chinese conditions. This study of the Communist Party of China's strategy for unleashing peasant revolution analyses the nature of the Chinese peasantry, their goals and collective actions, the key social contradictions of pre-revolutionary China and the relationship between the communist revolutionary movement and the peasantry. It offers an overview of the theoretical insights of Mao Zedong in particular.
