May Fourth societies and the roots of mass-party politics
Summary
This is a social and cultural history of political radicals during China's pivotal May Fourth Movement (1915-1923). It examines the everyday life of May Fourth activists in Wuhan, central China's most important urban centre. By examining the cultural-political societies founded by the local teacher and journalist Yun Daiying (1895-1931) the book illuminates the ways in which the May Fourth Movement developed in hinterland urban centres and from there into a nationwide movement, which ultimately provided the basis for the emergence of the Nationalist Party (Guomindang) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
