8vo, original cloth , no dj, viii + 248pp, index, notes, ex-library stamps, ow. a very good copy. This book transcends the boundaries of Chinese studies and scholarship on Western literature and critical theory, bringing together the two fields in a way that questions both the application of Western theory to Chinese materials and the resistance to theory in sinological scholarship. Recognizing that social and historical reality is external to discourse and that knowledge has an inevitable ethical import, the author argues for the importance of reality and lived experience in understanding a culture as well as the moral responsibility of such understanding. The book examines the discrepancies between various Western representations of China and the reality of China; inquires into the cultural, historical, and political contexts within which such discrepancies arise; and points out the distortion of reality in the tendency toward cultural dichotomies, the tendency to view China as the conceptual opposite of the West.

Paperback. Very Good. From Publishers Weekly The Chinese Cultural Revolution lasted from 1966 to 1976, and reactions to it have dominated Chinese writing since. The so-called "Chinese Western" examines the impact of the Revolution on impoverished, isolated western China, regions profoundly entrenched in tradition. Each of the eight stylistically varied stories selected by Zhu Hong, a professor of American literature in Beijing who has also taught at Harvard, illuminates the bewilderment and undeniable courage of a people confronted by monumental change. In Jia Pingwua's nearly mythic "How Much Can a Man Bear?" the injustices of the Cultural Revolution are only a politicized form of existing enslavement: " 'Let me tell you,' " says a husband to his wife, " 'living, your body belongs to me, and dead, your ghost is mine!' " The urban student who narrates Zhu Xiaoping's "Chronicle of Mulberry Tree Village" observes a destitute rural village to which he has been sent for reeducation and concludes that its guileful inhabitants elude his ability to judge them. Wang Meng's "Anecdotes of Chairman Maimaiti" counters suffering with black humor; a failed author sentenced to labor "with writers he envied" jokes with them after Red Guards assault him for being an "evil liberal writer": " 'Who cares if you folks don't give me recognition! The people consider me a writer!' " One wishes stories by women had also been included, but with novel subjects, richly evoked settings and vivid, often poignant characterizations, this collection has wide appeal.

8vo, br. ed. pp.288. Nel '68, gli studenti manifestavano sventolando il Libretto rosso del presidente Mao. Nel frattempo, in Cina, la Rivoluzione culturale mieteva vittime proprio tra i giovani. Una di questi, al tempo studentessa di musica, decide pochi anni fa di ignorare l'insegnamento del padre, di «andarsene in silenzio, senza lasciare traccia», e raccontare invece la sua storia, e quella di un'intera generazione di giovani sottoposta a un diffuso lavaggio del cervello e convinta della giustezza di un'ideologia che li costringeva alla delazione e alla denuncia, oltre a togliere loro ogni libertà. Uccidendoli anche nell'anima: commoventi il rimorso, il dolore e il pentimento di Zhu Xiao-Mei per aver creduto alle menzogne del maoismo e avere agito di conseguenza. È anche per «chiedere scusa», che l'autrice scrive, ed è proprio il pentimento, tra i tanti sentimenti contrastanti, ad animare la sua scrittura. Nata in una di quelle famiglie che al tempo vennero disgregate ed etichettate con il bollo infamante «di cattive origini», cioè di musicisti e intellettuali, Zhu Xiao-Mei viene internata per cinque anni in un campo di rieducazione ai confini con la Mongolia. La storia di come le note di una fisarmonica risveglino in lei l'amore per la musica e la spingano a procurarsi avventurosamente un pianoforte è raccontata con semplicità, la stessa che aggiunge pathos involontario al resoconto dei mille soprusi perpetrati dai sorveglianti sugli internati. Il potere salvifico della musica anche in circostanze orribili è un tema trattato diffusamente in letteratura a proposito della Shoah, ma Zhu Xiao-Mei aggiunge una quantità di riflessioni inedite, e racconta il percorso a dir poco accidentato che la porta negli Stati Uniti, le difficoltà che affronta per continuare a studiare pianoforte, per poi approdare a Parigi dove dà il primo concerto, dedicato a Bach. Il compositore che per lei indica una «via» molto simile a quella del Tao. Suonerà le Variazioni Goldberg ovunque, e la sua esecuzione è diventata un culto.
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.446. Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father’s dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. “Zia’s portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side.”—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club
