Radicalism at the margin : the new emergence of the Chinese Trotskyist movement in Hong Kong, 1969-1981
As a marginal radical Left group, Chinese Trotskyists who were suppressed by the Communist state and other dominant political powers have rarely been mentioned in the modern and contemporary history of Chinese politics. This is what led to my academic interest in discovering the âunknownâ Trotskyist history of Chinese radicalism. Compared to previous studies on Chinese Trotskyism in mainland China prior to 1952, based on newly-available archival sources and other primary materials, this thesis explores the new political emergence of Chinese Trotskyist movement in Hong Kong by investigating the Trotskyistsâ role in Hong Kongâs political arena and the political dynamics of the Trotskyist activities mainly in the 1970s. As a result, this research will add something new to previous studies, and will enrich readersâ understanding of the âneglectedâ history of Chinese Trotskyistsâ radicalism at the margin.
