Family diaries, letters, interviews in China, and institutional archival records are used to tell a compelling story about successive Rockefeller generations and U.S.-China cultural relations. This book describes how Rockefeller philanthropy came to focus on elite science and medicine and ensured their ongoing importance in the American-Chinese relationship. That importance is still seen today in the ties of the two countries in natural and social sciences, the humanities, economics, and higher education. The Rockefeller family's involvement with China continues in the fourth and fifth generations, even as Rockefeller philanthropy is reshaped in response to China's rise as a global power. Understanding the origin, evolution, Cold War interregnum, and post-Mao renewal of Rockefeller philanthropy brings new clarity to the nature and tenacity of this ongoing bilateral relationship."--Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Introduction : A century of Rockefeller philanthropy in China -- Origins : medicine, art, and oil -- Agenda : "missionaries of science" -- Politics : encountering nationalism and communism -- Survival : Peking Union Medical College -- Renewal : Rockefeller philanthropy in post-Mao China -- Legacy : anniversaries. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $z China $x History. 651 0 $a China $x History. $z United States $x History. 610 20 $a Rockefeller Foundation $x History. 650 0 $a Endowment of research $z China $x History. 650 0 $a Science and state $z China $x History. 650 0 $a Medicine $z China $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / China $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825034843.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20150210011741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DCACF48EF1711E09F56419B6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
