In the Red by Geremie Barm
A leading observer of Chinese literature, society, and politics lifts the veil on the culture wars that have raged between officials and dissidents in the period before and after the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
Barme knows China well [and] has occasionally feuded with Chinese cultural icons.. Here, he surveys the cultural warfare since the reform era began in 1978 and emphasizes the way a rich counterculture has flowered despite the authorities'deep misgivings and periodic purges. -- Nicholas D. Kristof New York Times Book Review A factual look at a cultural revolution that is happening without artist or government realizing it. -- Joe Collins Booklist
