Luxuriate in five star hotels and walk down glamorous boulevards in huge cities where fashionably dressed citizens chase the yuan and where glitzy high rise projects dominate the skyline, as the author, Lin Sartori, shares the stories and photographs of her trip to The People's Republic of China. Transport back in time, in a slow train, through one of the minority provinces, passing pastures of river buffalo, majestic mountains, and farming communes that look, from a distance, like the terraced hills of Italy's countryside. The casual traveler can witness China dealing with food quality, environmental issues, basic hygiene, education, and routine medical care for those who have in the past taken a back seat to huge government projects. In this land of dichotomy, of the haves and the have nots, meet the new emerging middle class who lives in hope, watching proudly over their only child. View the world from the heights of the Great Wall and be amazed at an Emperors audacious army of Terracotta Warriors. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Chinas culture and landscapes. Join the adventure as Lin Sartori shares her daily experiences in her travel journal of The Peoples Republic of China, Beyond Research.

Far from the glittering cities of Beijing and Shanghai, China's borderlands are populated by around one hundred million people who are not Han Chinese. For many of these restive minorities, the old Chinese adage 'the mountains are high and the Emperor far away', meaning Beijing's grip on power is tenuous and its influence unwelcome, continues to resonate. Travelling through China's most distant and unknown reaches, David Eimer explores the increasingly tense relationship between the Han Chinese and the ethnic minorities. Deconstructing the myths represented by Beijing, Eimer reveals a shocking and fascinating picture of a China that is more of an empire than a country.

During the Cold War, several prominent African American radical activist-intellectuals—including W.E.B. and Shirley Graham Du Bois, journalist William Worthy, Marxist feminist Vicki Garvin, and freedom fighters Mabel and Robert Williams—traveled and lived in China. There, they used a variety of media to express their solidarity with Chinese communism and to redefine the relationship between Asian struggles against imperialism and black American movements against social, racial, and economic injustice. In The East Is Black, Taj Frazier examines the ways in which these figures and the Chinese government embraced the idea of shared struggle against U.S. policies at home and abroad. He analyzes their diverse cultural output (newsletters, print journalism, radio broadcasts, political cartoons, lectures, and documentaries) to document how they imagined communist China’s role within a broader vision of a worldwide anticapitalist coalition against racism and imperialism.
