About This Item
New YOrk: Fawcett Columbine, 1990. First edition. Stated. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Price clipped. Signature has a series of chinese characters below it.. 325, [1] p. In the tradition of Mark Salzman's Iron and Silk, this is a joy--a journey of discovery for the reader, as it was for the author. A stunning memoir of life in China the year before dreams ended in a massacre that captured the world's attention, this book does much to prepare the reader for an understanding of the student uprisings of 1989. This is the author's first book.
Synopsis
One year before the protests in Tiananmen Square, Rosemary Mahoney participated in a teaching exchange between Harvard and Hangzhou University. At Hangzhou she was able to overcome her students' usual rigidity and achieve a rare and intimate glimpse of their culture and their attitudes. This remarkable memoir captures both the dreams and the grim realities her Chinese students faced within the confines of an oppressive political regime.
