History in Three Keys: The Boxers as Event, Experience, and Myth
In History in Three Keys, Paul A. Cohen approaches the Boxers from three complementary angles: the events themselves, the experiences of those who lived through them, and the myths that shaped their meaning. The result is a thoughtful study of history, memory, and interpretation.
