This dissertation aims to reconsider the Chinese Revolution by focusing on a major turning point of modern Chinese history, the Land Reform movement led by the Chinese Communist Party. Through investigating empirically the early period, 1946--48, of the movement in the "Liberated Areas" of northern China, it seeks to understand reflexively the historical specificity of the Chinese Revolution and to interpret its cultural-political implications with regard to the formation of Chinese modernity. Under this general concern, the study focuses on three major issues: the construction of class consciousness, the techniques of the exercise of power, and the inbuilt contradictions of the revolutionary movement. More specifically, (1) by examining the process of the invention of the "landlords in the Old Areas," the study reveals how the language of class and class struggle influenced political behavior and stimulated revolutionary imagination of the enemies (Chapter 2); (2) by exploring the practice of fanxin, or revolution in the mentality of the peasantry, it demonstrates the concrete pathways of power (such as visiting the suffering poor) and its micro-techniques and subtle strategies (such as inducing bitterness) (Chapter 6); (3) though a systematic analysis of the discursive and historical contradictions among fanshen (i.e., liberation through class struggle), production and democracy, it uncovers the "structural" mechanism of the revolutionary process (Chapters 3, 4 & 5). Together, these crucial findings contribute to a postrevolutionary, instead of antirevolutionary, reassessment of the legacies of the Chinese Revolution. While this dissertation deals directly only with China, it has comparative implications for the study of class, power and revolution and helps us to understand the historicity of modernity in general.
