520 1 $a"The ancient story of King Goujian, a psychologically complex fifth-century B.C.E. monarch, spoke powerfully to the Chinese during China's turbulent twentieth century. Yet most Americans - even students and specialists of this era - have never heard of Goujian. In Speaking to History, Paul A. Cohen opens this chapter of China's recent history, previously missing to the West. He connects the story to each of China's major traumas of the last century, tracing its versatility as a source of inspiration and hope and elegantly exploring, on a more general level, why such stories often remain sealed up within a culture, unknown to outsiders. Labeling this phenomenon "insider cultural knowledge," Cohen investigates the relationship between past story and present reality. He asks why peoples are especially drawn at certain moments in their collective lives to narratives from the distant past that resonate strongly with their current circumstances and why the Chinese have returned over and over to a story from twenty-five centuries ago. In this imaginative stitching of story to history, Cohen reveals how the shared narratives of a community help to define its culture and illuminate its past."--BOOK JACKET.
