Reviews

Peter Zarrow, University of Connecticut:
Few countries will do more to shape the twenty-first century than China. But who will shape China? This is a necessary book introducing us to key ideas for the future of Chinese politics and society. Many of the voices translated in this volume not only affect the debates going on in China today but will influence what issues the Chinese consider important tomorrow.

Guobin Yang, University of Pennsylvania:
This splendid anthology features intellectual voices of different ideological camps in contemporary China. The masterfully selected and translated texts represent both academic writings and popular internet genres. Extremely timely and important for understanding China’s changing social and political trends. A treasure trove for teaching and research.

Aminda Smith, Michigan State University:
Voices from the Chinese Century is an immensely important and incredibly timely book, broadly relevant beyond the field of China studies. The translations are exemplary; these translators have pulled it off beautifully.

Jeffrey Wasserstrom, coauthor of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know:
A joint effort by scholars with stellar track records, this collection is a valuable and timely contribution to the literature on Chinese thought and politics. It allows readers outside the country a unique chance to eavesdrop on and appreciate the stakes in the spirited debates that continue among Chinese intellectuals.
