Summary

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Ken Hammond to talk about his new book China’s Revolution & the Quest for a Socialist Future! Here, we provide an overview of modern Chinese history, and Ken makes his case that China is still on the path to a socialist future. This was a fantastic survey of this history, and will serve as a great introduction to a forthcoming mini-series we will be doing with Ken on some specific events in modern Chinese History!

He has been engaged in radical politics since his involvement in the anti-war movement at Kent State in 1968-70. He is a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and an activist with Pivot to Peace. You can get the book we discussed in this episode from 1804 books.
