The Yenan [Yah'an] Way in Revolutionary China, Mark Seldon's controversial study of the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region, that barren area of Northwest China governed by the Communist Party (CCP) from 1935 to 1947, was, for many years, the pivotal study of revolutionary change. Indeed, this sort of politics is perhaps predisposed to such bizarre ideas because it isn't rooted in a close analysis of the history that we're living; it tends to be driven by slogans and anachronistic analogies ("When Mao was on the way to Yenan," or "When the Bolsheviks were organizing for power"). The Maoist critique, as it emerged in Jiangxi and Yenan prior to the rectification campaign of 1942-43, shared this approach. |
