Weaving together discussions of culture critique and nativist defense, of political consolidation and economic upheaval, as well as of military strategy and ordinary violence, <i>Revolutionary Nativism</i> reveals the grassroots sources and everyday appeal of fascist social analysis and activism. A compelling account with deep resonance for our contemporary moment. --Rebecca E. Karl, New York University An important contribution, <i>Revolutionary Nativism</i> shows how a strain of fascism in early twentieth-century China attempted to mold a vast and preindustrial country into a modern nation-state. Maggie Clinton tells this story with critical insight and historical sympathy, helping to enrich our understanding of fascism in China and central issues in Chinese modernity. --Xiaobing Tang, author of Chinese Modern: The Heroic and the Quotidian A thought-provoking study that raises new questions. -- Anna Belogurova * Pacific Affairs * Historian Clinton offers an insightful analysis of what she sees as China's fascist movement after the ascendance of Chiang Kai-shek in the political arena.
