Maoism

An appreciatively broad history that is too liberal in outlook to give “socialism with Chinese characteristics” (or the post-colonial African variant) its fair shake, though its scepticism is warranted for the various other perversions of Mao's project. This book could have focused more on the Chinese context and the specifics of Tse-tung's policies, given that these provide the entire impetus for Maoism's global reach.
