Reviews

[C]areful research and imaginative reconstructions... [I]lluminating. Laughlin has performed a valuable service -- Bonnie McDougall, The China Journal Laughlin has done a commendable job... [An] informative study... --Q. Edward Wang, American Historical Review I recommend Laughlin's study to anyone interested in genres of Chinese literature and theories of subjectivity, and cultural politics in modern China. --Yingjin Zhang, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies Laughlin's book stands out not just with its breadth, its summation of the historical developments of a variety of reportage sub-genres, but more significantly, with its astute textual analyses of a wealth of twentieth-century Chinese reportage works and its constant attention to the genre's complex relationship with cultural leftism in China. --Shu Yunzhong, Bulletin of the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy Listed in CHE, Journal of Asian History, China Review International, and boundary 2. Negative review in China Quarterly.
