Summary
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we conclude our series on Modern Chinese History with this important, and inevitably controversial discussion of the Deng Reforms and the Reform Period! Very important that no matter your ideological tendencies, you come into this episode with an open mind, because there will be a lot of useful information for you regardless of how you analyze the Deng Reforms overall - this is meant primarily as a resource to allow you to deepen your personal understanding and analysis of this critical juncture in Chinese and world history. We definitely want to also thank Ken for spending over 6 hours with us on this mini-series, and we hope that you all get some use from it!
Ken Hammond is Professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University. He has been engaged in radical politics since his involvement in the anti-war movement at Kent State in 1968-70. Ken is also the author of the book China's Revolution & the Quest for a Socialist Future.
