"This work offers the first systematic analysis of writings on modern Chinese history
by historians in China from the early twentieth century to the present. It traces
the construction of major interpretive schemes, the evolution of dominant historical
narratives, and the unfolding of debates on the most controversial issues in different
periods. Placing history-writing in the context of political rivalry and ideological
contestation, Huaiyin Li explicates how the historians' dedication to faithfully reconstructing
the past was compromised by their commitment to an imagined trajectory of history
that fit their present-day agenda and served their needs of political legitimation."
