This book provides a sophisticated analysis of Mao's views on the role of the peasants and working class in the Chinese revolution, his theoretical attempt to make Marxism appropriate to Chinese conditions, and his understanding of the Chinese road to socialism. Knight includes a discussion of the theoretical difficulties in interpreting Mao's thought. \u003ci\u003eRethinking Mao\u003c\/i\u003e represents a challenge to many of the conventional accounts of Mao and his thoughts.
