The East is Still Red – Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century by Carlos Martinez
Non-Fiction suggested by Janice
I remember this book as having loads of interesting information about current China. I want to reread it, and we all need to look at China outside of US propaganda.
From Amazon – from Professor Radhika Desai (University of Manitoba): In a world gone berserk with US-incited rage against People’s China; in a world where the bulk of Western scholarship has become so deeply compromised so as to yo-yo between the most tendentious anti-Chinese positions and confusion; in a world where the left has lost its ability to distinguish between imperialism and liberation; in a world that fails to understand just how world-changing have been the achievements of actually existing socialisms; Carlos Martinez shines the light of his crystal-clear prose and his acute political and scholarly insight on China’s achievements, material, ecological, scientific and social. If you want to understand the most profound earthquake shaking up our world, read this book.
