Under the Chinese Communist Party, \"the intellectual\" was first and foremost a widening classification of individuals based on Marxist thought. The party turned revolutionaries and otherwise ordinary people into subjects identified as usable but untrustworthy intellectuals, an identification that profoundly affected patterns of domination, interaction, and rupture within the revolutionary enterprise. Drawing on a wide range of data, Eddy U takes the reader on a journey that examines political discourses, revolutionary strategies, rural activities, urban registrations, workplace arrangements, organized protests, and theater productions. He lays out in colorful detail the formation of new identities, forms of organization, and associations in Chinese society. The outcome is a compelling picture of the mutual constitution of the intellectual and the Chinese socialist revolution, the legacy of which still affects ways of seeing, thinking, acting, and feeling in what is now a globalized China.","brand":"Eddy U","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960226549878,"sku":"9780520303690","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_f930c94a-acf5-4100-aab5-36a8a8093a89.jpg?v=1767802519","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/creating-the-intellectual-9780520303690","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
