GENL 134 China: Traditions and Transformations (NW)

More populous than any other country on earth, China occupies a unique place in our modern world for the continuity of its history and culture. As we unveil the mystery of China we will examine the rise of Confucianism, Buddhism, and the great imperial dynasties to the Mongol, Manchu, and Western intrusions and the modern communist state. Our intention will be to examine and explore China from various perspectives - embracing Chinese arts, culture, economics, society and its treatment of women, foreign policy, emigration, and politics, including the key uprisings of 1919 and 1989 in Tiananmen Square.
