Bloomsbury presents China After Mao by Frank Dikötter, read by Daniel York Loh.

“A blow-by-blow account … An important corrective to the conventional view of China’s rise.”—Financial Times

From internationally renowned historian Frank Dikötter, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, a myth­-shattering history of China from the death of Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping.

Through decades of direct experience of the People’s Republic combined with extraordinary access to hundreds of hitherto unseen documents in communist party archives, the author of The People’s Trilogy offers a riveting account of China’s rise from the disaster of the Cultural Revolution. He takes us inside the country's unprecedented four-decade economic transformation—from rural villages to industrial metropoles and elite party conclaves—that vaulted the nation from 126th ­largest economy in the world to second ­largest. A historian at the pinnacle of his field, Dikötter challenges much of what we think we know about how this happened. Casting aside the image of a society marching unwaveringly toward growth, in lockstep to the beat of the party drum, he recounts instead a fascinating tale of contradictions, illusions, and palace intrigue, of disasters narrowly averted, shadow banking, anti-corruption purges, and extreme state wealth existing alongside everyday poverty. He examines China’s navigation of the 2008 financial crash, its increasing hostility towards perceived Western interference, and its development into a thoroughly entrenched dictatorship with a sprawling security apparatus and the most sophisticated surveillance system in the world. As this magisterial book makes clear, the communist party’s goal was never to join the democratic world, but to resist it—and ultimately defeat it.©2022 Frank Dikötter (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー

Iconoclastic.
A clear-eyed and detailed account.
A blow-by-blow account … An important corrective to the conventional view of China’s rise.
One of the most insightful and nuanced looks at the complex rise of China since the Second World War ... engrossing and riveting.
A skilled writer, Dikotter is accessible to both expert and lay readers alike.
Challenges assumptions about China's speedy, four-decade rise and its transformation from a reclusive agrarian economy into a global superpower . . . Dikötter's well-researched volume marks an important contribution to the literature on China's rise. Highly recommended.
A compelling and informative account and analysis of Chinese history from the early 1970s to 2022 ... China After Mao is packed with intrigue and insight for the layperson and scholar alike
A revolutionary book.
Highly-readable.
Dikötter delivers an excellent, highly critical description of China’s spectacular expansion that emphasizes banking, industrial policy, trade, and currency … a richly informative, disquieting history.
Dikötter (The People’s Trilogy) debunks the myth of China’s miracle economy in this expert study ...Extensively researched and cogently argued, this is a must-read for China watchers.
Whether he is pondering which came first, Party politics or economic policy, or navigating the slippery relationship between power, productivity and protest, Dikötter unpicks this most tangled web with admirable clarity.
Convincingly shows how foreign capital pouring into China (to benefit from low – and often artificially suppressed – wages) became a key ingredient of economic growth at a time of intensifying repression following the Tiananmen Square massacre. [China After Mao] also shatters the myth of competent technocratic policymaking . . . Most radically, the book makes the case that, rather than being a sharp break with the recent past, President Xi Jinping’s more nakedly authoritarian rule is in many ways a continuation of trends that started long ago.
