Editorial Reviews

Review

“An important and carefully argued book that suggests new ways of looking at China’s modern history. . . . In just two hundred pages and eleven crisply organized chapters, Horner manages to pack enough thought-provoking questions to keep his reader busy re-evaluating his or her views of China today.”—Jonathan Fenby, Asia Policy



"This book connects China’s past, present, and future and places them in a larger, evolving context. Horner’s work is nothing short of a tour de force of world intellectual history as projected and contested on the canvas that is China."—Naval War College Review


"The book is clear, engagingly written, and quite original, combining an overview of Western scholarship, some Chinese scholarship, and a critique of twentieth-century Chinese culture to argue the prospects of China's completed modernization and the challenges it poses for the state and the military."—Pamela Kyle Crossley, Robert 1932 and Barbara Black, Professor of History, Dartmouth College



"Rising China and its Postmodern Fate is a highly informed and insightful set of reflections on the question, what are we to make of the much-discussed 'rise' of China? Horner combines a wide-ranging specialist knowledge and an ability to look at the question from many angles in succession. This is a unique and marvelous piece of deep reflection on some of the most important issues of history of our time."—Arthur Waldron, Lauder Professor of International Relations, University of Pennsylvania



"Horner reflects on China’s current rise, not as an anomaly, but as part of a long tradition of dramatic transformations. This book is thus an elegant warning against either dogmatic or essentializing interpretations of Rising China, or excessive certitude about its fate." --Peter Ditmanson, Oxford University


“Horner looks to many different Chinas as they interact with various world systems. Rather than taking a narrow view of strategy, he sees the combination of the civil and the military as an ‘intellectually creative activity’ that appeals to the ‘strategic imagination’ of history, literature, art, architecture and urban planning. Rather than define the future in singular terms, Horner charts the complexities of China's many hopes, dreams, anxieties, and ambivalences.”—William Callahan, Journal of Asian Studies
