The Department of History's Yujie Li was recently published in Twentieth-Century China, a refereed scholarly journal that publishes new research on China’s long twentieth century.  Yujie's article, "Birth of the Phoenix: Petty Capitalists in the Socialist Transformation of the Shanghai Bicycle Industry," explores the technological dimension of Shanghai’s socialist transformation. It does so through a case study of the bicycle industry, tracing the industry’s standardization and consolidation from the early 1950s to the 1960s.

One of the research trips that contributed to this article was supported by CEAS Pre-Dissertation and Dissertation Research Grants.
