OverviewIt is widely recognized that internet technology has had a profound effect on political participation in China, but this new use of technology is not unprecedented in Chinese history. This is a pioneering work that systematically describes and analyzes the manner in which the Chinese used telegraphy during the late Qing, and the internet in the contemporary period, to participate in politics. Drawing upon insights from the fields of anthropology, history, political science, and media studies, this book historicizes the internet in China and may change the direction of the emergent field of Chinese internet studies. In contrast to previous works, this book is unprecedented in its perspective, in the depth of information and understanding, in the conclusions it reaches, and in its methodology. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book is accessible to a broad audience.

Zhou is an anthropologists by training and is at his most illuminating when summarizing the fieldwork he conducted among people involved in the production of politically serious cyber content in China. His typology of that content into officially connected or tolerated sites, and nationalist ones is compelling and very useful. -American Historical Review Zhou's book is an engaging and important addition to the literary of Chinese media studies. -- New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies Author InformationYongming Zhou is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
