ture, it is a surprise not to find a chapter on literature or the arts. Perhaps the modern scholar of comparative politics must not only change his classifications, but also introduce new categories. The text would benefit by being supplemented with readings in Chinese literature along the line of Jenner's Modern Chinese Stories, and Seybolt's Through Chinese Eyes. Because Ideology and Culture is built on many stilts, it is an excellent guide for the student of Chinese or comparative politics and provides many topics and ideas for fruitful discussion. It is a rich attempt to combine sensitivity to methodology with political narrative.
