Book Description
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.

Book Description
Writings of travelers have shaped ideas about an evolving China, while preconceived ideas about China also shaped the way they saw the country. A Century of Travels in China explores the impressions of these writers on various themes, from Chinese cities and landscapes to the work of Europeans abroad. From the time of the first Opium War to the declaration of the People's Republic, China's history has been one of extraordinary change and stubborn continuities. At the same time, the country has beguiled, scared and puzzled people in the West. The Victorian public admired and imitated Chinese fashions, in furniture and design, gardens and clothing, while maintaining a generally negative idea of the Chinese empire as pagan, backward and cruel. In the first half of the twentieth century, the fascination continued. Most foreigners were aware that revolutionary changes were taking place in Chinese politics and society, yet most still knew very little about the country. But what about those few people from the English-speaking world who had first-hand experience of the place? What did they have to say about the "real" China? To answer this question, we have to turn to the travel accounts and memoirs of people who went to see for themselves, during China's most traumatic century. While this book represents the work of expert scholars, it is also accessible to non-specialists with an interest in travel writing and China, and care has been taken to explain the critical terms and ideas deployed in the essays from recent scholarship of the travel genre.

Book Description
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.
