5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!
I don't know if Kluver or Powers have visited China, but it doesn't matter much. This is one of the 100 best books on this subject! It brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Powers and Kluver. My only complaint was there needs to be many more pictures. Other than that it was flawless (Except for p 116).

1.0 out of 5 stars This book [was bad]!
I don't know what Kluver and Powers were thinking, but it was obvious that they have never even VISITED china, or spent any time around real Chinese people. If they have been to China, it only shows that they are totally ignorant of the topic at hand. This book is another in a long line by small minded, western biased, anglo-loving nerds.

This review is from: Civic Discourse, Civil Society, and Chinese Communities: (Civic Discourse for the Third Millennium) (Hardcover)
I don't know what Kluver and Powers were thinking, but it was obvious that they have never even VISITED china, or spent any time around real Chinese people. If they have been to China, it only shows that they are totally ignorant of the topic at hand. This book is another in a long line by small minded, western biased, anglo-loving nerds. In addition to that, there were numerous typos and errors in the book. Too many to begin to list here, but page 116 contained one of the BIGGEST blunders I have ever seen. Unless a professor forces you to buy this book, stay far, far away from it, because you can learn more about this topic on MTV than in this book.
