Jenner, W. J. F.. THE TYRANNY OF HISTORY The Roots of China's Crisis. NY: Allen Lane The Penguin Press, c. 1992.
Binding is clean, sound and unworn. Neat blue underlining on pages 26-45, else contents are almost as new. Minor edge wear on clean, complete DJ. ; Black boards, bright gold lettering. Index. Chronological listing of Principal Chinese Dynasties. 2-page map frontispiece. HISTORY. "According to Professor Jenner, China has been both held together and held back by the tyranny of its history, by a culture and an education system that have always looked back, have rooted authority in the past and have inhibited creating thinking...The tyranny of China's past is not simply a matter of history and politics, however, but derives equally from the Chinese writing system...and the Chinese family, which inhibits both individuality and a sense of citizenship and provides the building blocks of the autocratic state...This remarkable book...greatly deepens our understanding of recent events and the challenge of the future. Democracy, though appealing as a slogan to some Chinese, will not easily find a place in the China that W. J. F. Jenner portrays. Yet he also sees hope as the tyranny of China's past and the unity of the Chinese imperial state begin to unravel and the many local components of the Chinese world assert their own identities and defend their own interests.
