Book Reviews
- Review of Kathleen L. Lodwick, Review of Ding Yizhuang, Zhongguo zhiqingshi: Chulan 1953-1968 (A History of
the Chinese Rusticated Youths: the Early Ripples
1953-1968)
- Reviewed for H-List by Jerome Chen, chenj@yorku.ca, York
University. As if to disagree with these two solidly
researched, carefully footnoted, and lucidly narrated
volumes, the PRC decided to commemorate the 30th anniversary
of the rustication of its best educated youth last year by
publishing reams of reminiscences.
- Review of Iris Chang, The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust
of World War II
- Reviewed for H-Asia by Robert Entenmann, St. Olaf
College. The Rape of Nanking refers to the wholescale murder
of nearly 200,000 Chinese prisoners of war and civilians by
Japanese troops occupying Nanking, as Japanese discipline
collapsed. This book acclaimed because of her account of the
massacre, a vivid and gut-wrenching narration, although
as history, the book seriously flawed.
