Based on decades of experience of travelling and working in China, this successor to Barnett's "China on the Eve of Communist Takeover" paints a portrait of that country's least-known provinces. The author, who was born and raised in China, uses his personal insights to analyze the processes of modernization and reform that have been transforming the country during the last four decades. Intended for travellers, students and academics alike, the book is illustrated with nearly 200 photographs from the author's own collection.
