Abstract:The Longest Night is a sequel to Prophets Unarmed (Brill 2014), a sourcebook on early Chinese Trotskyism. The present volume continues the story of Chinese Trotskyism beyond 1949, the year of Mao Zedong's victory at national level and of the Trotskyists' imminent destruction. Its title is drawn from a poem by the Chinese Trotskyist leader Zheng Chaolin conceived in prison in 1952.
"The Longest Night tells the story of Chinese Trotskyism in its later years, including after Mao Zedong's capture of Beijing in 1949. It treats the three ages of Chinese Trotskyism: the founding generation around Chen Duxiu, Zheng Chaolin, Wang Fanxi, and Peng Shuzhi, who joined the Opposition after their expulsion from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); the first generation of those who (after 1931) did not first pass through the ranks of the CCP before becoming Trotskyists; and those who became Trotskyists after 1949, mainly in Hong Kong and the diaspora"--
