"Finding a fresh angle to a familiar story is a challenge, one that this book has dealt with creatively and convincingly." ( English Historical Review , 1 June 2014 "As a textbook, The Wobbling Pivot is accessible, complete and readable, and as a synthesis of twentieth century Chinese history, it is both original and provocative, and a valuable introduction to the perennial issues that China poses in the undergraduate classroom." ( The China Quarterly , 1 September 2012) "[A] lively survey ... .It sheds considerable light on contemporary Chinese dilemmas." ( Shanghaiist , December 2010)

Synopsis
This comprehensive but concise narrative of China since the eighteenth century builds its story around the delicate relationship between central government and local communities., This comprehensive but concise narrative of China since the eighteenth century builds its story around the delicate relationship between central government and local communities. With a nod to Ezra Pounds translation of the Chinese classic Zhongyong The Unwobbling Pivot , Pamela Kyle Crossley argues that Chinas modern history has not wholly adhered to the ideal of the unwobbling pivot , with China as a harmonious society based on principles of stability. Instead she argues that developments can be explained through China s surprising swings between centralization and decentralization, between local initiative and central authoritarianism. The author s approach is broad enough to provide a full introduction to modern Chinese history. Students new to the subject will be supported with timelines, maps, illustrations, and extensive notes to further readings, while those with a background in Chinese history will find an underlying theme in the narrative addressing long-standing interpretive issues. As a personal perspective from a leading authority in the field, The Wobbling Pivot provides a stimulating and original interpretation of the course of modern Chinese history., This comprehensive but concise narrative of China since the eighteenth century builds its story around the delicate relationship between central government and local communities. Rejects the traditional view of China as a wholly harmonious society based on principles of stability - the Unwobbling Pivot of Ezra Pound's translation of the Chinese classic Zhongyong Provides an original interpretation, arguing that developments can be explained through an understanding of China's surprising swings between centralization and decentralization, between local initiative and central authoritarianism Serves as an introduction to the subject, while readers with a background in Chinese history will find the book offers a personal perspective and addresses long-standing interpretive issues Supported by a variety of timelines, maps, illustrations, and extensive notes for further reading Places China's history within the context of global change
