a reliable source for people interested in contemporary china

the only deficiency is that he focuses too much on the top-level political struggles. it is okay for readers with general interests, but a closer view of Chinese society is absent.
An excellent piece of scholarship

Joseph Fewsmith has produced an excellent work that provides a thorough survey and cutting analysis of modern China. Readers interested elite politics, intellectual currents, and varieties of Chinese nationalism would be well advised to turn here for information.

Great China Book

Fewsmith has produced a truly magnificent book. For anyone interested in modern China, this book is a valuable asset. His new book is a detailed and thorough examination of the political and intellectual currents shaping Chinese society since the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989. Few other authors so ably present the intellectual and social debates with China - conflicts over how should China view the United States, the international economy, its own political conditions, and China's conception of itself in a globalizing, yet unipolar world. Fewsmith does accurately capture the different sentiments of average Chinese (contrary to another reviewer's estimation). There was a spontaneous outpouring after the 1999 embassy bombing, and understandably so as many Chinese were scared and uncertain by the event. In short, Fewsmith has made an extremely valuable addition to our understanding of the complex and evolving social, culutaral and political aspects of modern China.
