The struggle for political change in China is reaching a crescendo. From the booming cities to the rural communities, Out of Mao's Shadow introduces us to some of the courageous people who are dedicated to building a more democratic China despite the grave dangers they face in doing so.
Written by one of the leading China correspondents of his generation, this book brings together compelling individual testimonies, taking us into the lives of people struggling to come to terms with the nation's past, and to take control of its future.
