- This 130,000-word monograph is the result of six years of research. Zhou uses hitherto inaccessible party archives across China and oral interviews undertaken with all groups involved. By focusing on two internationally acclaimed public health campaigns in China under Mao’s leadership, it reveals the complex interactions between policy makers, national and local administrations, and the citizens affected by these campaigns. Zhou also shows the unintended political and social consequences of these health interventions, and raises wider questions about the image and uses of the Maoist model of health improvement in post-Second World War global health discourse.
