Reviews
Heidi Ross, co-editor of The Ethnographic Eye: Interpretive Studies of Education in China:
The last decade has seen a burgeoning of research on ‘modern’ Chinese education and educational history. Xiaoping Cong’s book stands out because of its important focus on the social role of teacher preparation institutions in the pre-Second World War period. One of its key contributions, particularly for an English-speaking audience, is its extensive use of Chinese language scholarship and archival information.

George Wei, author of Sino-American Economic Relations, 1944-49:
A major contribution to the study of teachers’ schools in Republican China. Xiaoping Cong’s work helps us understand why China’s rural society and lasting feudal structure were transformed and dismantled during the Republican period and also what led to the success of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949. It will be an important reading for students and scholars of Chinese intellectual history, women’s history, and education.
