Xiaoye You. Ideology, Textbooks, and the Rhetoric of Production in China.

You, Xiaoye. "Ideology, Textbooks, and the Rhetoric of Production in China." CCC 56.4 (2005): 632-53.

Abstract

This article examines a writing textbook published in the People's Republic of China over two editions. I will argue that competing ideologies have constantly and in multifold manners dictated the ways this textbook was produced, disseminated, consumed, and reproduced: the rhetoric for a textbook's production and existence.
