How does emotion shape public intellectual debate? In Sentimental Republic, Hang Tu proposes emotion as a new critical framework to approach a post-Mao cultural controversy. Covering forty years (1978–2018) of bitter cultural wars, Tu analyzes how liberals, the left, cultural conservatives, and nationalists debated Mao’s revolutionary legacies.
