PLEASE NOTE THE REVISED CONFERENCE DATES AND DEADLINE
H-PRC is the H-Net presence of the PRC History Group, a network of scholars with interests in the history of the People’s Republic of China. We define history broadly, to encompass a wide variety of disciplinary approaches, and we understand the history of the PRC to include eras prior to the official change of state power in 1949.

New primary source and ephemera archive

I’ve added a new primary source to our archives at prchistory.org: a 1960 booklet of illustrations celebrating the urban communes movement in Beijing.
Rural art during the Cultural Revolution
Dear colleagues,
I am starting a project on socially-engaged art in the countryside and I am doing some background historical research. I was wondering if any of you had experience doing research in local archives on rural art during the Cultural Revolution. I would like to know what to expect before going back to China in the summer. Also, do you have any suggestion for secondary literature (in Chinese or English) on the topic?
Many thanks,
Zhou Yanhua
