The book reveals how these texts and films, which seem to proclaim faith in modernity, nevertheless doubt the possibility of changing the course of history. In the aftermath of violent events, the authors question their ability to rescue the nation or even create a space for public debate. The witness against history is ultimately a critique of witnessing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3117345\"\u003eYomi Braester\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.37w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804758499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804758492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT008010\"\u003eAsian | Chinese\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssociate Professor of Comparative Literature and a member of the Cinema Studies Program at the University of Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44443530985709,"sku":"9780804758499","price":37.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f7ef0400-1ae1-46e1-9137-6e4dd82026a6.jpg?v=1700231836","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/witness-against-history-literature-film-and-public-discourse-in-twentieth-century-china-9780804758499","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
