CreatingtheIntellectual

Creating the Intellectual offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between intellectuals and the Chinese socialist revolution of the past century. During the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, intellectuals were classified based on Marxist thought, leading to their identification as usable but untrustworthy individuals. This affected power dynamics, interactions, and ruptures within the revolutionary movement.

Eddy U draws on a wealth of information to explore political discourse, revolutionary strategies, rural and urban activities, workplace arrangements, protests, and theater productions. This wide-ranging analysis vividly depicts the emergence of new forms of organization and identity in Chinese society.

The book provides an insightful and compelling account of the complex interactions between intellectuals and the socialist revolution, whose legacy continues to impact the ways in which individuals perceive, think, act, and feel in modern-day China, now a global powerhouse.
