Featured in the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the eve of International Women's Day in 2015, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five became a global cause c l bre, with Hillary Clinton speaking out on their behalf and activists inundating social media with #FreetheFive messages. But the Five are only symbols of a much larger feminist movement of civil rights lawyers, labor activists, performance artists, and online warriors prompting an unprecedented awakening among China's educated, urban women. In \u003ci\u003eBetraying Big Brother\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China's authoritarian regime today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists, Hong Fincher illuminates both the difficulties they face and their \"joy of betraying Big Brother,\" as one of the Feminist Five wrote of the defiance she felt during her detention. Tracing the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement, and describing how the Communist regime has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles, \u003ci\u003eBetraying Big Brother\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leta Hong Fincher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786633655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786633651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Leta Hong Fincher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043647746303,"sku":"9781786633651","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a4ed925-5775-4bfe-8b63-5ba792693f14.jpg?v=1684968363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/betraying-big-brother-leta-hong-fincher-9781786633651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
