"Single sparks" and legacies: an eventful account of the may fourth movement/ Mark W. Frazier - 2023

The watershed in modern Chinese politics known as the May Fourth Movement (1919) offers insights into how a single protest event can quickly diffuse to other regions, draw in new participants and produce legacies in contentious politics. This article examines the May Fourth protests from the perspective of "eventful sociology" - an approach that examines how protests, repression and other contingent events link together to bring about landmark political episodes.
