Supernatural Politics: Mao Zedong and the Drive to Eliminate Religion in China, 1949–79 - Cambridge Studies in the History of the People's Republic of China
Smith, S. A. (University of Oxford)
When the Chinese Communist Party took power in 1949, China was still a religious society. In this landmark contribution, Steve Smith examines the paradox of 'supernatural politics', showing that we cannot understand the meaning of the revolution to the Chinese people without engaging their relationship to gods, ghosts and ancestors.
