Features: This book employs the historical materialist method, combining history and theory, to provide a detailed analysis of the process by which the main institution of feudal education in China—the academy—was abolished and new-style schools and educational systems were established from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. In examining educational reforms, it also offers a concise analysis of the social thought of the time.
