This is one case, probably among many, where Search Inside can be very useful to see what you may think of the book itself.

The displeased reviewers, some with clear Chinese diction (no possessives, etc.) showing through, seem to attack the subject as uncomfortable.

On the contrary, reading the parts shown in Search Inside shows that the book itself may in fact be very interesting - as it's quality of professional reviewers may suggest.

Highly recommended for students of Chinese history/culture.

Geremie R. Barme's In The Red offers insights into contemporary Chinese culture, blending facts and anecdotes with cartoons, photos and illustrations to bring to life various facets of Chinese relationships. Recommended for any student of Chinese history and culture.

condescending claptrap

This guy is outrageously paternalistic and condescending. It should be entitled, Why I dont like contemporary Chinese folk, esp those who are either dissidents and/or not dissidents. (!)

I dont know why these essays are recollected, as they do not add up to a book, so Id recc you save you money on this one.


Excellent Book
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Using Chinese rock and roll, soap operas, books, comics, films, and karaoke, the Party's heroes and ideas are merchandised to the comrade in the street. China abounds in subteties and ironies.
Barme's analysis is well written and very relevant.

Ohh, Please!! This is all about Barme, whom most iod these dissidents whom he at turns fetishizes and disparages themselves hate. Idiots like Barme just cant stand the fact that many, nay most Chinese do not hate Mao, their "system", etc etc.. Why in God name does Barme et al want China to be just like, say, the US or Australia?? Anecdotes are not arguments, GB!
