A Sensational Encounter with High Socialist China is a recollection
of the historic visit of fourteen American students (and one
Canadian) to China in 1971. The visit was one of the first approved
for American scholars after the Chinese Communist Party came to
power in 1949 and occurred prior to President Nixon's famous trip
(as well as that of a second group of scholars) in 1972. One of
these students, Paul Pickowicz, kept a journal and photographically
documented the trip. This book is a personal account of the events
leading up to their visa approvals as well as those that occurred
during the journey itself. The five senses are used to connect the
reader to his experience and are placed in the context of a
theatrical production. The images included have been selected from
an archive at the University of California, San Diego, which
digitized the author's images as well as those of others in the
Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars (CCAS) taken during both the
1971 and 1972 delegations.
