This study looks at the purge through an analysis of the voices found in contemporary documents - those of Red Guard groups, local leaders felled during the campaign, and the new leaders put in place by the central government in Beijing. At the heart of this was the struggle for domination by a central government asserting national unity, opposed to any expression of local particularities in Inner Mongolia. The author examines the discourse strategies by which central government attempted to impose total control, asserting a dominant ideology and narrative based on Marxism-Leninism. The volume offers a unique insight into the relationship between language and culture of political power in modern China, at a time of crisis and violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown, Kerry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2004-05-01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e History|Asia|China|Political Science|Political Ideologies|Communism, Post-Communism \u0026amp; Socialism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781901903492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781901903492\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52148046528793,"sku":"SP-9781901903492","price":186.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9781901903492_spiral.png?v=1774208976","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/the-purge-of-the-inner-mongolian-peoples-party-in-the-chinese-cultural-revolution-1967-69-a-function-of-language-power-and-violence","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
