"""Bruno Lessard analyzes Wang Bing's documentary masterpieces through the twin lens of history and labor. Incisively framing them as a sustained critical intervention in how China understands itself through the legacy of Maoism and Deng Xiaoping's neoliberal reform project, The Cinema of Wang Bing makes me want to watch the films again."" -Chris Berry, King's College London ""Professor Lessard offers an original and comprehensive study of Wang Bing's contribution to Chinese documentary as a mode of observation and reflection on some of the most crucial periods of China's recent and present history . . . I certainly felt that reading the films through a sociohistorical approach produced a more vibrant understanding of Wang Bing's oeuvre."" -Cecíiacute;lia Mello, University of São Paulo"
