Sun Yat Sen and the Awakening of China
James Cantlie and Charles Sheridan Jones

The book made the new republic intelligible through a familiar temporal metaphor. Its title casts China as a sleeping civilisation awakened by a singular revolutionary leader, recognising political change while preserving the Western observer’s authority to name the stage of development.
