Dear all, Can anyone help out Barbara Foley on this query for sources and brief
specifics? (I know several of you on the list know Barbara and her terrific
work.) She is looking for cites on “revisionist” sources
that “debunk” the left wing and received accounts of the War of
Resistance and revo era. The Jung Chang type of rubbish, basically. Gao
laoshi are you out there? Best wishes, Dan From: Bfoley29@aol.com
[mailto:] hi dan-- the reason i write, other than just to say hi and ask whether
you'll be at MLA this year, is to ask you a question. i am doing a
review--for S&S in fact--of hsaio-li lindsey's recent autobiography *bold
plum*, which documents her years with the guerrillas in WW2 china.
fascinating. anyway, among the book's many virtues is its clear documentation
of the long and hard struggle of the communist forces against the japanese--a
history that is, i gather, being called into question in various recent
revisionary accounts of the era. my query: do you know of this revisionary work? if so, what
are some key authors/titles? when i was at a book party for BP in beijing
this past summer, mention was made of this trend, but i did not get a clear
idea of specifics. is this point made for example in the chang and
halliday (sp?) book? hoping all is well w you. i see advertisements for the
graduate programs at your U with increasing frequency. the world is
indeed getting smaller, at least in some ways-- best, barbara foley
