Revista Foreign Affairs: numero especial sobre o massacre da Praca da Paz Celestial, Beijing, 4 de junho de 1989
25 Anos se passaram depois que a mais longa ditadura do mundo contemporâneo -- só perde para a ditadura da Coreia do Norte, que é ainda mais cruel e assassina -- massacrou centenas, possivelmente mais de um milhar, de estudantes que se mobilizaram por democracia no grande império despótico.
A revista Foreign Affairs -- contra uma modesta assinatura de 19,95 -- oferece documentos e análises sobre esse evento definidor da China contemporânea. Ela vai chegar a democracia, mas esse processo é incompatível com a dominação do partido comunista. Vamos ter de esperar novas crises para isso...

Foreign Affairs In June 1989, the Chinese government brutally suppressed masses of peaceful protestors in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. A decade later, Foreign Affairs revolutionized the world's understanding of those events by publishing an exclusive trove of documents showing why China's leaders opted for violence that fateful day. Now, 25 years after the crackdown, we are delighted to bring you Tiananmen and After, a special collection that couples those secret documents with a range of expert commentary on modern China's political evolution.
This collection traces just what happened back in June 1989, what it meant, and what has taken place since then. It opens with a new introduction by Andrew Nathan, one of the key figures behind the publication of the secret documents (that have become known as "The Tiananmen Papers"), and includes pieces on China's rapid economic rise, its sluggish political reforms, and the multitude of challenges that lie ahead.
The rise of China is one of the most important stories of our time, and Tiananmen and After is a wonderful guide to it for history buffs and news junkies alike. Don't miss out— subscribe today!
Best,

Now with a new companion piece by Nathan that takes the story up to the present, explaining why the crackdown was the turning point in modern Chinese history. |
