"Cultural Revolution in China"

New Left and Chinese Revolution

This booklet, put out by SDS, contains an interview with an American student in China, Chris Milton, originally published in The Movement newsletter in February 1969. Considering the complexities of the Chinese Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the booklet explores the multiple stages of a proletarian revolution from material revolt to the cultural superstructure, the latter the basis for the Cultural Revolution organized by Mao Tse-tung. The interview examines themes such as the student movement in the United States and abroad, the Chinese educational system, and bureaucratic revolutions.
