Patriotism

Abstract

This book explores the concept of patriotism within the Chinese socio-political and cultural context, focusing on its role in shaping national identity, civic responsibility, and social cohesion.

It discusses:

The theoretical foundations of patriotism from both Marxist and Chinese ideological perspectives

The relationship between patriotism, nationalism, and loyalty to the state

The role of patriotic education in fostering unity and national pride

Historical narratives emphasizing China’s development and collective memory

The work aligns with broader state-led efforts to promote patriotism as a means to strengthen national cohesion and identity, particularly through education and public discourse
