Mao’s mango

Cultural Revolution as history or farce
The ABR Podcast 02 July 2025

 ‘A worse world: History from the future’ by André Dao | The ABR Podcast #237

This week on the ABR podcast we feature Shan Windscript’s review of Bombard the Headquarters! by Linda Jaivin. Though Windscript applauds Jaivin for condensing the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of Communist China into a succinct and vivid account, Windscript argues this approach sacrifices historical nuance. Shan Windscript is a cultural historian of modern China and Lecturer in East Asian History at Monash University. Listen to Shan Windscript with ‘Mao’s mango: Cultural Revolution as history or farce’, published in the July issue of ABR.
