This mini-course introduces some of the critical essays written by political economist, Wang Yanan, in the 1930s and 1940s. It is intended to help students think about Marxism in a Chinese setting, although this is a Marxism that is not beholden to Communist Party dictates, but rather represents a rare independent philosophical and interpretive position on Marx and China. Readings will be in Chinese and English; class discussions will be in Chinese and English; written work can be in either language, depending on what students wish to do.。
