In comparison to the intensively studied Cultural Revolution, its precursor has remained under-researched. This roundtable panel will rekindle conversations regarding the history and scholarship on this crucial turning point in the Mao era. Our roundtable addresses a couple questions. One deals with the debate regarding Mao's motivation of launching the Anti-Rightist Campaign: Did he react from genuine surprise, or had he set a trap and plotted from the beginning to lure snakes? We hope to reach a consensus with the most recent scholarship. The other concerns various treatments of different social groups in the Anti-Rightist Campaign, and explores reasons for the differences. This question puts elite politics aside and pursues local variations of the campaign.
