"Some Good Persons of Sichuan: A Provincial Perspective on Twentieth-Century Chinese History"

Kristin Stapleton
Professor, Department of History
University of Buffalo, SUNY

Abstract: If Sichuan were a country, it would be the eighteenth most populous in the world today (provided several other Chinese provinces and some Indian states weren’t also added to the list). Its fascinating history, however, has not received proportionate attention, even within China. This talk offers an overview of Sichuan’s twentieth-century history, focusing on divergences and convergences with conventional narratives of Chinese national history and the experiences of other parts of China. It will focus on the lives of several interesting—if not necessarily good—Sichuan natives to raise questions about the importance of provincial and regional identities across the last 120 years.
