Author:
Volume 1 of a 2-volume set: Compiled by the scholar statesman Sima Guang of the Song dynasty, Zizhi tongjian is well recognised as one of the major histories of China.
In length and extent, Later or Eastern Han was one of the great empires of east Asia, and its eventual failure led to the heroic age of the Three Kingdoms and centuries of division between north and south. Sima Guang's account of the dynasty's successes and failures provides detailed and informed information on the nature and governance of the Chinese imperial state.
This translation offers a Western reader access to and an understanding of that world.

Three Generations of Chinese Trotskyists in Defeat, Jail, Exile, and Diaspora
With an introduction by Gregor Benton.
The Longest Night tells the story of Chinese Trotskyism in its later years, including after Mao Zedong's capture of Beijing in 1949. It treats the three ages of Chinese Trotskyism: the founding generation around Chen Duxiu, Zheng Chaolin, Wang Fanxi, and Peng Shuzhi, who joined the Opposition after their expulsion from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); the first generation of those who (after 1931) did not first pass through the ranks of the CCP before becoming Trotskyists; and those who became Trotskyists after 1949, mainly in Hong Kong and the diaspora.

Abstract
In a global context, scholarly monographs occupy the most basic and important position in virtually all fields of scholarly endeavor, but China’s policy has been to discourage, even eliminate, the production of scholarly monographs, its intention being to make journal articles the fundamental literature in all fields of study. The result is that monographic studies of China have come to be dominated completely by foreign English-language works, with virtually no research by China’s own scholars. China needs urgently to emphasize once more weighty monographic studies of China in Chinese, to correct what amounts to a self-imposed colonialization of Chinese China studies.

Abstract
In the face of binaries, American scholars and officials will characteristically view them as either/or opposed dualities, such as democracy vs. autocracy, good vs. evil, rational vs. irrational. On that basis, American scholars typically view themselves as democratic and free, but view China as “dominated” and controlled, using the word “totalitarianism” to characterize China. China, on the other hand, tends instead to view the U.S. and China not as opposed binaries but rather simply as different. Under those very different modes of thinking, it has been difficult for the two sides to truly communicate with one another. Generally speaking, they do not confront directly such differences in modes of thinking and endeavor to overcome the gap to try to reach mutual understanding. What we need is for both sides to be aware of such fundamental differences; only then can they rise above the divides to truly communicate and consult with one another. Only if presumptive differences in modes of thinking are recognized and set aside can real and substantive differences be dealt with, and genuine mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence be attained.

Subjective theory is one thing, objective behavior another, but practice born of the interaction of the two is yet another thing.
