This book analyzes the phenomenally profitable "Red Tourism"
industry in China, in which visitors make pilgrimages to sites of
historical significance to the Communist Party of China and the
Chinese Revolution. The book examines Red Tourism in connection
with the transforming power relations between the state and the
private, communication in the socialist past, and the current round
of capitalization, against the backdrop of the world's second
largest economy. By re-evaluating the conventional notion of
propaganda through the lens of neutral xuanchuan propaganda, the
book presents a nuanced look at the social space of Red Tourism,
revealing that propaganda should be conceived as a commodity, an
industry, or even a media system similar to the news media. Drawn
from combining fieldwork and cultural analysis spanning a decade,
this book will be of interest to students and scholars of
communication studies, tourism, and Chinese politics.
