Chang-tai Hung shows in compelling detail how Chinese resisters used a variety of popular cultural forms-especially dramas, cartoons, and newspapers-to reach out to the rural audience and galvanize support for the war cause. While the Nationalists used popular culture as a patriotic tool, the Communists refashioned it into a socialist propaganda instrument, creating lively symbols of peasant heroes and joyful images of village life under their rule. In the end, Hung argues, the Communists' use of popular culture contributed to their victory in revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChang-tai Hung\u003c\/b\u003e is Jane and Raphael Bernstein Professor of Asian Studies at Carleton College, and the author of \u003ci\u003eGoing to the People: Chinese Intellectuals and Folk Literature, 1918-1937\u003c\/i\u003e (1985).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460956504317,"sku":"9780520082366","price":131.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Ya-gotpWdP9780520082366.webp?v=1777256500","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/war-and-popular-culture-resistance-in-modern-china-1937-1945-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
