From the perspective of six years in Beijing (1986-1992),
Kretschmer offers a lively account of how American "Foreign
Experts" go berserk in China, how they gradually adjust to Chinese
culture, and how they eventually acquire a unique bicultural vision
of the world. Kretschmer combines entertaining sketches of the
bumbling "China Thumb" with penetrating glimpses of the population
policy at work. He addresses issues related to the function and
purpose of education, economics, democracy, and a free press in
China and at home. Kretschmer is particularly sensitive to
culturally conceived mythologies of reality and how they differ for
Chinese and Americans. A Renaissance scholar with an extensive
background in cross-cultural experience and broad-ranging
interests, Kretschmer serves the reader a Chinese banquet of
thought-provoking observation about "their" culture and "ours."
