A view of world history in 13 parts by John Roberts. 11: The East Is Red
For centuries, China thought of itself as 'the Middle
Kingdom,' the centre of the world. But in the end she had to give way to the West. From the coming of the Portuguese, to the Opium
Wars and the Siege of Peking, China has been assaulted by Western forces and ideas, not least those of Marxism. The adoption of Communism was, says John Roberts , an event in world history to match the Reformation or the rise of Islam.

Maytime on the Mosquito Coast
Depite the deprivations of war, the people of Bluefields, Nicaragua, still find time to do the Lambeth Walk and maypole dancing. Bluefields, on Nicaragua's east coast, is named after a notorious 17th-century pirate and its stormy past has provided it with a culture which is an anomalous amalgam of Spanish, British American, Amerindian and African. Rhythms of the World explores this fascinating corner of the Caribbean and looks at the extraordinary range of popular music to be found there.
