In the third volume of this popular series, leading experts provide
fascinating and unexpected insights into critical issues of
culture, economy, politics, and society in today's China. This
world, outside the reach of state control and either misunderstood
or unreported in Western media, gains clarity and dimension from
the fresh insights of a prominent group of activists, investigative
journalists, lawyers, scholars, and travelers, who share a common
interest in lessening the profound information gap between China
and the rest of the world. In sixteen new essays, they address such
key topics as civil society, consumerism, environmental adversity,
ethnic tension, the Internet, legal reform, new media and social
networking, nationalist tourism, sex and popular culture, as well
the costs of urban gigantism to portray the complexity of life in
contemporary China-and how, increasingly, it speaks to the everyday
experience of Americans. Contributions by: David Bandurski, Susan
D. Blum, Timothy Cheek, Gady Epstein, Andrew S. Erickson, Lionel M.
Jensen, John Kamm, Wenquing Kang, Katherine Palmer Kaup, Travis
Klingberg, Orion A. Lewis, Benjamin L. Liebman, Jonathan S. Noble,
Tim Oakes, Jessica C. Teets, Alex L. Wang, and Timothy B. Weston.
