About this book

Propaganda and Culture in Mao's China: Deng Tuo and the Intelligentsia (Studies on Contemporary China) by Cheek, Timothy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780198290667.

This biography of Deng Tuo (1912-1966) is a social history of intellectuals as agents in Chinas socialist revolution. It places Deng Tuos writings and ideas in the rich context of his social experience as a member of the Communist bureaucracy and as an elite artist and aesthete. The tension between service to politics and service to culture was ultimately disasterous for Deng and for Chinas revolution: his ghost haunts the halls of power in Beijing today.
