Manjari Chatterji Miller, Wronged By Empire: Post-Imperial Ideology and Foreign Policy in India and China

摘要

In this book, Manjari Chatterji Miller uses new materials and innovative methodologies to argue that post-colonial memory is an independent variable which explains Mao's decision to invade India in 1962, and the 2005 riots which accompanied PRC opposition to Japan's membership on the U.N. Security Council. Miller rejects CCP politics as the decisive factor and instead focuses on memory (ideology) in which the victims, the Chinese people, imagine the nation as entitled to "get even", especially on territorial issues.
