Purchase options and add-ons

China, Geremie R. Barmé notes, has become one of the greatest writing and publishing nations on the planet, and both cultural activists and the state are embroiled in debates about the production and distribution of its cultural products. But what happens when global culture and Chinese capitalist-socialism meet in the marketplace? In the Redinvestigates what goes on behind the rhetoric of the official Chinese government and the dissident community and provides a unique perspective on mainstream Western perceptions of cultural developments, artistic freedom, and popular lifestyles in China today.

Illustrated with fascinating cartoons and photographs and rich with facts, anecdotes, and events, In the Red exposes the complex relationship between "official" culture (produced, supported, or sanctioned by the government) and "nonofficial" or countercultures (especially among urban youths and dissidents). Two key and contrasting events loom large in this narrative: the 1989 protests that ended with the June 4 massacre and a nationwide purge, and Deng Xiaoping's 1992 "tour of the south," in which he emphasized the need for radical economic reform. Although a level of political tolerance has evolved since the 1970s, Barmé sheds light on the significance of the intermittent denunciations of artists, ideas, and works.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Barmé knows China well [and] has occasionally feuded with Chinese cultural icons.... Here, he surveys the cultural warfare since the reform era began in 1978 and emphasizes the way a rich counterculture has flowered despite the authorities'deep misgivings and periodic purges. -- Nicholas D. Kristof ― New York Times Book Review

A factual look at a cultural revolution that is happening without artist or government realizing it. -- Joe Collins ― Booklist

Andi Como
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2000
Using Chinese rock and roll, soap operas, books, comics, films, and karaoke, the Party's heroes and ideas are merchandised to the comrade in the street. China abounds in subteties and ironies.
Barme's analysis is well written and very relevant.
