About the book

Provides a unique perspective on uprising in nine places in East Asia in the 1980s and 1990s. While the 2011 Arab Spring is well known, the wave of uprisings that swept East Asia in the 1980s is popularly almost unheard of. Beginning with an overview of late 20th century history; the context within which Asian uprisings arose. Katsiaficas relates Asian uprisings to predecessors in 1968 and shows their subsequent influence on the wave of uprisings that swept Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s. Richly illustrated, with tables, charts, chronologies, graphs, index and footnotes
