Reviews

Bold, far-reaching in its implications, brilliant in its interpretation of specific texts. Zhong has contributed to the growing literature of the meanings of Chinese modernity in a most illuminating way. --Marilyn Young, New York University I cannot think of a single other work on China that goes into the cultural politics of masculinity in contemporary Chinese literature in such depth. This book will generate a great deal of discussion. --Lisa Rofel, University of California, Santa Cruz This is an outstanding book. Rarely does one come across a work in the China field that considers gender and related theoretical issues with as deep a sense of history as does this one. Zhong's scholarship provides us with extraordinary new insights into the cultural politics of post-Mao China in the 1980s. --Lydia Liu, University of California, Berkeley
