Description: "This book reconstructs civic education and citizenship training in secondary schools in the lower Yangzi region during the Republican era. It also analyzes how students used the tools of civic education introduced in their schools to make themselves into young citizens and explores the complex social and political effects of educated youths' civic action. In doing so, it helps to explain what citizenship meant in Republican China and why it took the forms it did, contributing to a genealogy of Chinese citizenship throughout the twentieth century."--Jacket.
