Résumé ou extrait
  • "As Cold War foes, the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the United States (U.S.) engaged each other not only in bloody military conflicts, intriguing diplomatic maneuvers, and prolonged trade embargo, but also in fierce battles on the cultural front. By cutting off all the existing cultural ties between the two nations and establishing various new cultural contacts all aimed at attacking and isolating each other, the Sino-American cultural interactions were transformed from mostly a constructive force in the making of the bilateral relations into sharp swords constantly used against each other throughout the Cold War. When Beijing and Washington finally allowed and even encouraged the establishment and expansion of cultural exchange as part of their effort to normalize the diplomatic relations between the two sides in the 1970s, the swords were not recast into plows, making the confrontation on the cultural front a constant phenomenon in the coming decades. The drastic transformation of the U.S.-China cultural relations constituted an integral part of the Cold War experience shared by the Americans and the Chinese who still have to cope with its aftermath today. With a careful investigation on the beginning, evolution, and impact of the Sino-American confrontation on the cultural front from the late 1940s to the late 1970s, this book fills a gap in the study of the U.S.-China Cold War and sheds new light on the history of Sino-American cultural relations."
