Ma Jian
Red Dust : A Path Through China
336 pages, Maps Vintage/Ebury (A Division of Random House Group) London, UK 235 x 155 mm. in inches: 9.25 x 6.1 Ma Jian turned 30. He was overwhelmed by a desire to escape the confines of his life in Beijing. China was changing, Deng Xiapoing was introducing economic change but was clamping down on "Spiritual Pollution". Ma Jian, with his long hair, denim jeans and artistic friends, was under surveillance from his work unit and the police. His ex-wife was seeking custody of their daughter; his girlfreind was sleeping with another man; and he could no longer find the inspiration to write or paint. So Ma Jian bought a train ticket to the westernmost border of China and set off in search of himself. His journey lasted three years and took him to deserts, overpopulated cities, from scenes of barbarity to havens of tranquility and beauty. This account of his journey provides an insight into the teeming contradictions that make up China. Chronicles the poet, painter, photographer, and dispirited Buddhist's three-year trek through China's most remote regions. His adventurous spirit and sense of humor provide a remarkable perspective on modern-day China in its unique beauty. May have a small remainder mark on the edge. Illustrated. 324 pages. Published at $25.00. ISBN 0375420592

Chinese concepts of Privacy
8vo pp.241, coll. sinica leidensia vol. lv. Privacy is a basic concept in discussions on the concept of human rights. This first book on the (traditional) Chinese approach to the subject shows that concepts of privacy have been part of discourse in China from the earliest recorded times to the present, with varying contents, mechanisms, functions and values at different times and among different groups of people.Individual chapters examine inscriptions on early bronzes, medical case histories in the Ming and Qing dynasties, fictional representations of privacy experiences, discussions on public and private virtue by Liang Qichao, the role (or absence) of privacy issues in letters in early imperial China, and the function and values of privacy, secrecy and seclusion in the correspondence between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping.As the first treatment of Chinese concepts of privacy in any language, the book is interdiscipinary by nature and pays particular attention to the terminology and methodology of privacy studies.Particulars and Universals: Studies on Chinese Privacy / Bonnie S. McDougall Solitude, Silence and Concealment: Boundaries of the Social Body in Ming Dynasty China / Charlotte Furth Privacy in Dream of the Red Chamber / Cathy Silber Studying the Private Sphere of the Ancient Chinese Nobility through the Inscriptions on Bronze Ritual Vessels / Maria Khayutina Privacy and Letter Writing in Han and Six Dynasties China / David Pattinson The Origins of Modern Chinese Concepts of Privacy: Notes on Social Structure and Moral Discourse / Peter Zarrow Functions and Values of Privacy in the Correspondence between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, 1925-1929 / Bonnie S.
