5.0 out of 5 stars
Very unique and brillant avenue to study Chinese Society,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training the Body for China: Sports in the Moral Order of the People's Republic (Hardcover)
One doesn't have to be a sports enthusiast to benefit from Prof. Brownell's book. It is a unique approach in teaching Chinese society. I had the honor of being one of her students at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in one of her Chinese society classes and I have taken many other classes not taught by her and I must say that her book has given me more insight in the cultural structure of the norms, beliefs and politics than I have ever gotten from any other college text. I also recommend this book for readers who aren't studying anthropology. It is just facinating to read about her adventures being an American college student taking part of the nation's equivalent to the Olympic Games in Beijing while studying abroad in Communist China.
