Lecture No. 0026
China
Lecture by Prof. Harvey Goldberg on modern China. Covers traditional Chinese society under the Qing dynasty and the origins of Western economic imperialism in the mid-nineteenth century. Click below for text transcriptions and audio from the HGC’s official YouTube channel.
NOTE: Reflecting Goldberg’s own pronunciation of Chinese terms and the texts he would have referenced in the 1970s, transcripts use Wade-Giles romanization rather than Pinyin throughout (e.g., Peking for Beijing, Mao Tse-tung for Mao Zedong, etc.).
