We talk to Rana Mitter about the Chinese Experience in the first half of the 20th Century. Mitter is a professor of the history and politics of modern China at the University of Oxford and the director of the University of Oxford China Centre. He studies the emergence of nationalism in modern China, both in the early 20th century and in the contemporary era. He is particularly interested in the impact of China's war with Japan in the 1930s and 1940s on the development of Chinese politics, society, and culture. Prof. Mitter has authored several monographs, including the award-winning A Bitter Revolution: China’s Struggle with the Modern World (2004) and his most recent publication, China’s War with Japan, 1937-45: The Struggle for Survival (2013). He is currently working as a principal investigator for the interdisciplinary research project “China’s War with Japan”. Furthermore, he is part of the project “The Making of Postwar Order in Europe and East Asia”, which is part of the Oxford-Princeton research collaboration.
