Lecture No. 0033
China, cont’d
Lecture by Prof. Harvey Goldberg on modern China. Covers the first decade of Communist China under Mao Zedong, from worsening relations with the Soviet Union through the Great Leap Forward campaign (1958-62). 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.).
