The Lost Generation is a vital component to understanding Maoism. The book provides a comprehensive account of the critical movement during which seventeen million young "educated" citydwellers were supposed to transform themselves into peasants, potentially for life. Bonnin closely examines the Chinese leadership’s motivations and the methods that they used over time to implement their objectives, as well as the daytoday lives of those young people in the countryside, their difficulties, their doubts, their resistance and, ultimately, their revolt. The author draws on a rich and diverse array of sources, concluding with a comprehensive assessment of the movement that shaped an entire generation, including a majority of today’s cultural, economic, and political elite.
