The Search for Modern China: A Documentary Reader is a perfect companion to The Search for Modern China, Second Edition, and other texts for the modern China course. This collection of primary source readings combines proclamations, treaties, laws, and other public acts with works reflecting everyday life, family, social networks, and culture. Many of the documents, translated into English for the first time by Lestz and Cheng, are available only in this book. Accessible to students approaching the study of Chinese history from various backgrounds, each reading is accompanied by a headnote, and footnotes identify unfamiliar names, places, and events.
Michael Lestz is professor of history and chairperson of the history department at Trinity College.
Pei-kai Cheng is professor of history at Pace University in New York City.
