Praise
“In Maoism and the Chinese Revolution, Elliott Liu provides a
dual service: first, he offers a critical history of Maoism that is
both comprehensive and concise; second, he teases out the main lessons
of that history and poses the question of how and what we are to learn
from it. It is an auspicious beginning to a badly needed debate.”
—André Moncourt, coauthor of The Red Army Faction: A Documentary History
“How did a great revolution, carried out under the red flag and led
by people who claimed, and believed themselves, to be communists, give
rise to a monster slave state that may prolong the life of the
capitalist system globally? By presenting information about events in
China and engaging seriously with Mao Zedong as philosopher and
strategist, Elliott Liu shows that the outcome did not result from the
triumph of Mao’s ‘capitalist road’ opponents within the bureaucracy but
was inherent in a project that sought to transform China into a
capitalist society without relying on the traditional bourgeoisie. Liu
has contributed to the discussion of what, if anything, in the Maoist
tradition can be useful to those seeking to build a new society.”
—Noel Ignatiev, author of How the Irish Became White
