The Idea of China
An acclaimed historian’s bold response to two simple, yet vexed, questions: What counts as China, and who counts as Chinese? China became a capitalist superpower by investing in globalization. Now that it has established its credentials—and emerged as a major US competitor—its leaders are looking within, focused on suppressing dissent and fostering cohesion. The result has been an increasingly nationalist cultural agenda, celebrating a Chinese id…

C harlotte B rooks . American Exodus
To borrow the title of a Hollywood movie, No Country for Old Men, we may say that there was no country for second-generation Chinese Americans between 1901 and 1949. The country of their birth, the United States, was unwelcoming, through both the policy of the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882–1943) and the widespread anti-Chinese sentiment in American society.

Xu explo…
Olympic Dreams

This book approaches questions about the nature and future of China through the lens of sports—particularly as sports finds its utmost international expression in the Olympics
Historical Memories and China”s Changing Views of East Asia
The use (or misuse) of history for political purposes is not a Chinese specialty. Almost every country in the world does it.1 Even Americans, who are not known for their historical memories, will on occasions use historical arguments. Whenever they contemplate military intervention in a Third World country, an obsession leads them into debate whether it will become another Vietnam.2 The Japanese also use history for their political purposes, as d…
