"... Recommended for medium-sized and larger libraries, as well as for the personal reading of librarians interested in China." -- Library Journal
"... rather effortlessly brilliant.... It penetrates with a lightly knowing eye and ear into the interior mind, heart and soul of giant China and the innumerable Chinese." -- AsiaMedia
"China's Brave New World is a must-read for anyone interested in the world's most rapidly changing society. Wasserstrom explores China with an ethnographer's lens: he takes the reader into coffee shops, fast-food joints, red-chip firms, and bootleg video parlors -- the kinds of places where with-it young Chinese spend their time. These are the stories that lie behind the 'economic miracle' of post-Mao/post-Teng China." -- James L. Watson, Harvard University, editor of Golden Arches East: McDonald's in East Asia
"This book provides a powerful lens for outsiders to understand a globalizing China and a unique mirror for the Chinese to reflect on their own society in a global context." -- Yunxiang Yan, author of Private Life Under Socialism
"These are not only reflections on the 'brave new world' of China's globalizing regions, but also an intimate tour of the author's thoughts on Eastern Europe, the handover of Hong Kong, Mark Twain's Missouri, and much in between. Setting aside his hat of academic historian, Wasserstrom writes in lively, clear language and is not afraid to put his own actions and private feelings into his absorbing and penetrating accounts." -- Perry LinkPrinceton University, author of The Uses of Literature: Life in the Socialist Chinese Literary System and Evening Chats in Beijing.
