China’s Revolution & the Quest for a Socialist Future w/ Ken Hammond

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Ken Hammond to talk about his new book China’s Revolution & the Quest for a Socialist Future!  Here, we provide an overview of modern Chinese history, and Ken makes his case that China is still on the path to a socialist future.  This was a fantastic survey of this history, and will serve as a great introduction to a forthcoming mini-series we will be doing with Ken on some specific events in modern Chinese History! Ken Hammond is Professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University. He has been engaged in radical politics since his involvement in the anti-war movement at Kent State in 1968-70. He is a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and an activist with Pivot to Peace.  You can get the book we discussed in this episode from 1804 books.
