Neither Gods nor Emperors: Students and the Struggle for Democracy in China
Calhoun, Craig. Neither Gods nor Emperors: Students and the Struggle for Democracy in China. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994.
Why this matters here
Calhoun's account studies the student movement, its organization, demands, and escalation in Beijing in spring 1989. When Authority Is Misread invokes that history before discussing the government's military response. The book's question about how reform narratives can displace dissent is its own interpretation, not an argument attributed to Calhoun.
