Doing
Good and Ridding Evil in Ming China: The Political Career of Wang Yangming
George Lawrence Israel
“This is a most
welcome addition to the bookshelf of Chinese history. (..) Israel has
thoroughly combed the original sources and has engaged much of the recent
scholarship on Wang in English, Chinese, and Japanese. He has also brought in
current theory as it relates to various questions that emerge aboutWang’s
activities. (...) Israel puts Wang Yangming’s career into a contemporary idiom,
and effectively attunes it to the way in which history is usually approached
these days.”
-JOHN W. DARDESS, (University of Kansas), Ming Studies, 73 (2016)

The
Lost Geopoetic Horizon of Li Jieren
The Crisis of Writing
Chengdu in Revolutionary China
Kenny Kwok-kwan Ng
“Kenny K. Ng offers much-needed insights into the regional culture of
Chengdu, capital of Sichuan, and the less well-known but very creative literary
writer, Li Jieren (1891-1962). The Lost Geopoetic Horizon of Li Jieren makes a
significant contribution to our understanding of the politics of localized
memory and alternative forms of microhistorical configurations of place against
hegemonic macrohistorical narratives and cultural paradigms in the PRC.”
-Yuehtsen Juliette Chung, National Tsing-Hua
University, Taiwan, MCLC Resource Center Publication, June 2016
