Educating China
«'What textbooks say today generates heated debate from Tokyo to Texas. Zarrow's landmark study of textbooks in late imperial and early Republican China shows how and why they mattered a century ago for reimagining the people, the culture, the past and the future of China - an indispensable book for educators and historians of modern China.' John Fitzgerald, Swinburne University of Technology»
In this major study, Peter Zarrow examines how textbooks published for the Chinese school system played a major role in shaping new social, cultural, and political trends, the ways in which schools conveyed traditional and 'new style' knowledge and how they sought to socialize students in a rapidly changing society in the first decades of the twentieth century.

«'Peter Zarrow's groundbreaking study of Chinese textbooks critically analyzes their presentation of knowledge to students in late Qing and Republican China. Zarrow thoughtfully situates the texts in broad social and cultural currents, demonstrating how they reflected and influenced ongoing political and intellectual dynamics. This book is necessary reading for all students of modern Chinese history.' Robert J. Culp, Bard College»
