** Announcing the 'Rereading China' Special Collection **

Science for the People sent two official delegations to the People's Republic of China in 1973 and 1978, in order to learn how science can be organized in a revolutionary society. Their account of the 1973 visit was published in China: Science Walks on Two Legs (1974).

As we reflect on the past and the present of SftP, of US-China relations, and of the future of science, what can we gather from the 1970s' trips? And how do we interpret the text today?

Sigrid Schmalzer, professor of history at UMass, invites us to join in on this critical rereading:

Rereading China: Science Walks on Two Legs in 2021
