Hong Kong and Taiwan Sources for Research into the Cultural Revolution Period

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 February 2009

Extract

The intent of this short article is to introduce scholars who have not recently worked in Hong Kong or Taiwan to the kinds of research materials relating to the Cultural Revolution which are now available there. Most of the sources discussed, however, are at least equally valuable for studying problems of earlier years as well. Treatment is generally limited to sources not included in Berton and Wu's recently published bibliography, although additional information can be found in that volume about the Union Research Institute and about some of the Taiwan organisations mentioned.
