Reviews
With this solidly documented and critically argued book, Ishikawa Yoshihiro has made a major contribution to our understanding of the process of the formation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)., Joshua Fogel has rendered Ishikawa Yoshihiro's Japanese study into a lucid and scrupulously prepared English edition. This account of the international aspects of the founding of the CCP is built on vivid detail and impeccable archival research. It is an important new contribution to English-language scholarship and an invitation to comparative scholars of modern Chinese history, Sino-Japanese relations, and world Marxism.

Synopsis
Official Chinese narratives recounting the rise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tend to minimize the movement's international associations. Conducting careful readings and translations of recently released documents in Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, Ishikawa Yoshihiro builds a portrait of the party's multifaceted character, revealing the provocative influences that shaped the movement and the ideologies of its competitors. Making use of public and private documents and research, Ishikawa begins the story in 1919 with Chinese intellectuals who wrote extensively under pen names and, in fact, plagiarized or translated many iconic texts of early Chinese Marxism. Chinese Marxists initially drew intellectual sustenance from their Japanese counterparts, until Japan clamped down on leftist activities. The Chinese then turned to American and British sources. Ishikawa traces these networks through an exhaustive survey of journals, newspapers, and other intellectual and popular publications. He reports on numerous early meetings involving a range of groups, only some of which were later funneled into CCP membership, and he follows the developments at Soviet Russian gatherings attended by a number of Chinese representatives who claimed to speak for a nascent CCP. Concluding his narrative in 1922, one year after the party's official founding, Ishikawa clarifies a traditionally opaque period in Chinese history and sheds new light on the subsequent behavior and attitude of the party.

Excellent seller! I would purchase more items from this seller in the future!
