Studies On Their Role In Nineteenth-Century Chinese Society
Chang Chung-li
résumé
"Professor Chang has inaugurated a great service to those concerned with the study of Chinese society. He has also made a considerable contribution to those interested in more general problems such as those concerning elite groups, bureaucracy, and so forth. His and similar contributions will make many analytical ventures possible that might otherwise never get beyond the speculative level. For Eastern specialists will also bless the publishers for a bibliography and glossary that give the Chinese characters for the titles and terms used in the text."- Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
