Description
The Making and Unmaking of the Chinese Radical Right, 1918–1951 provides a comprehensive historical analysis of China’s radical right-wing movements during a transformative period. Nagatomi Hirayama explores the intellectual origins, organizational structures, and political aspirations of various radical right groups that emerged in the aftermath of World War I and competed for influence during China’s Republican era.
The book examines how these movements responded to modernization, foreign imperialism, and communist expansion, offering insights into their ideological foundations and tactical strategies. Through detailed case studies and archival research, Hirayama demonstrates how internal contradictions, external pressures, and the eventual communist victory led to the ultimate decline of these movements by 1951. This work is essential for understanding the complex political landscape of modern China and the diverse ideological currents that shaped the nation’s twentieth-century trajectory.
