Documenting China brings together a series of linked texts, each one chosen for its impact when first published, and which together chart the core developments in twentieth-century Chinese history. With extracts spanning the fields of philosophy, political science, gender studies, popular culture, literary history, neo-nationalist discourse, and international relations, the book challenges advanced language learners to elevate their reading ability to the level necessary for handling real primary sources in an unmediated way while deepening their understanding of Chinese politics, society, and culture. Each chapter is structured around crucial passages from a core historical text, each chapter begins with an introductory essay in English that provides context for fully understanding the text, suggested further readings, and a glossary of key terms.

"Presents a medley of linguistic samples that reflect the development of modern Chinese language from an awkward marriage of the vernacular with literary Chinese in the May Fourth era to the most contemporary features of academic prose and polemics, and addresses an impressive range of social issues, from cultural and literary revolution in the early twentieth century to contemporary politics and policy strategies." Rong Cai, author of The Subject in Crisis in Contemporary Chinese Literature "A very useful textbook for extensive reading in advanced Chinese language courses. The first Chinese textbook designed to help students do research on their own with 'authentic texts' in their own fields." Shuhui Yang, author of Appropriation and Representation: Feng Menglong and the Chinese Vernacular Story
