Here, finally, is a book that reverses the trend by giving us a rare and important portrait of contemporary life within China--\"written with style, honesty, and expertise born of intimate and often painful experience\" (Ian Buruma). Mixing powerful personal stories with sobering analysis, this revealing book encompasses a broad range of social issues, from underage prostitution to the crackdown on religion. Featuring some of the first-ever eyewitness accounts from Chinese dissidents and their families--including testimony by the relatives of the imprisoned and the executed and descriptions of life in exile--\u003ci\u003eChallenging China\u003c\/i\u003e offers rare glimpses of the country's ongoing political turmoil, as well as hope in the rising collective resistance. By turns moving, illuminating, and outraged, \u003ci\u003eChallenging China\u003c\/i\u003e is a revealing portrait of a country whose internal politics we can no longer afford to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman Rights in China (HRIC) is an international nongovernmental organization founded by Chinese scientists and scholars to promote universally recognized human rights in the People's Republic of China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Hom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595584161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595584168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.95d","brand":"Sharon Hom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474117968127,"sku":"9781595584168","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_320d6d89-323d-489a-a79d-26bc26153631.jpg?v=1762315024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenging-china-sharon-hom-9781595584168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
