Abstract
Abstract:
Two recent books by Felix Wemheuer and Yang Kuisong constitute important pieces of a broader shift toward exploring the Maoist period at the grassroots level, from the bottom up, and contribute to ongoing debates on the nature, periodization, and legacies of Maoism.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2019. 331 pp. $79.99 (cloth), $29.99 (paper). | Yang Kuisong. Eight Outcasts: Social and Political Marginalization in China under Mao. Translated by Gregor Benton and Ye Zhen. Oakland: University of California Press, 2020. 285 pp. $85.00 (cloth), $39.95 (paper).
