"Enchanted Revolution is a valuable contribution to a deeper understanding of the complex and multi-layered propaganda culture in the Yan'an period." -- Chang-tai Hung, The China Quarterly"Eminently readable, this volume occasionally connects to larger issues beyond Chinese history, incorporating some theoretical insights and presenting a narrative that would work especially well within undergraduate courses. Recommended. General readers through faculty; professionals." -- Choice"In this impeccably researched new book, Xiaofei Kang offers scholars a powerful reinterpretation of the Chinese revolution...This is an interdisciplinary study that will interest scholars of history, religion, theater, and gender studies." -- Brian J. DeMare, NAN Nü "This is a thought-provoking and innovative work." -- Stephen A. Smith, Journal of Religious History"Enchanted Revolution would be excellent for teaching historical methodologies for students of religious studies, East Asian studies, and gender studies. While a working knowledge of twentieth-century Chinese history will be indispensable for placing Kang's argument in its larger context, those approaching the material as outsiders unfamiliar with the Chinese language will nevertheless find her a helpful scholar." -- Natasha L. Mikles, Nova Religio"This volume would prove invaluable for all those interested inChinese religion." -- Joseph Chadwin"This book [is] going to blow some people's minds," declares Buddhist studies scholar James A. Benn on Twitter/X. It truly does. Enchanted Revolution is not only for those interested in modern China but anyone who takes an interest in the notion of secularism (in particular from a decolonizing perspective), the relationship between communism and religion, or, more essentially, the perennial question of how the concept of religion we all know as a loaded term should be defined." -- Ting Guo, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, "Enchanted Revolution is a valuable contribution to a deeper understanding of the complex and multi-layered propaganda culture in the Yan'an period." -- Chang-tai Hung, The China Quarterly"Eminently readable, this volume occasionally connects to larger issues beyond Chinese history, incorporating some theoretical insights and presenting a narrative that would work especially well within undergraduate courses.

Synopsis
Enchanted Revolution moves religion and gender to center stage in the Chinese Communist revolution, examining the mobilizational dynamics of anti-superstition propaganda in support of the Communist Party's rise from rural backwaters to national dominance., Enchanted Revolution moves religion and gender to center stage in the Chinese Communist revolution, examining the mobilizational dynamics of anti-superstition propaganda in support of the Communist Party's rise from rural backwaters to national dominance. Xiaofei Kang argues that religion was not merely adversary for the revolutionaries-it also served as a model for the ways in which the Party mobilized support and constructed legitimacy. In this parallel and often paradoxical process, the Party attacked "superstitions" that had long supported the foundations of Chinese religious life. At the same time, Party propaganda co-opted these same religious resources for its own political ends. Kang demonstrates that the persuasive power of Party propaganda relied heavily on recasting the cosmic forces of yin and yang that sustained the traditional gender hierarchy and ritual order. Moreover, revolutionary art and literature revamped old narratives of female ghosts and ritual exorcism to inject the people with a new masculinist vision of the Party-state endowed with both scientific potency and the heavenly mandate. Gendered language and symbolism in Chinese religion thus remained central to inspiring pathos, ethos, and logos for the revolution. Enchanted Revolution sheds light on the contemporary significance of the Maoist legacy in China through a deft exploration of the complex interplay of religion, gender, and revolution.
