Riassunto

The writings that underpinned the Chinese revolution, introduced by Slavoj i ek

These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions, and Mao’s clarion call to insurrection has lost none of its ability to stir the blood and stimulate the mind. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Slavoj i ek’s introduction reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao’s thought in the revolutionary canon.
