Críticas:

Original and timely. A substantial contribution to the literature on the Cultural Revolution and on modern China in general. Treating the propaganda art of a totalitarian state as a serious component of culture is uncommon and very useful. An invaluable reference of visual images for scholars, students, and artists alike.--Julia F. Andrews, Ohio State University

Reseña del editor:

This illustrated book provides an innovative reinterpretation of the Cultural Revolution through the medium of the poster - a major component of popular print culture in China. Using 30 full colour and as many black-and-white reproductions of posters from the University of Westminster collection, an eminent group of scholars explores the discursive power of visual artforms in Chinese public life. The contributors provide an interdisciplinary analysis of political art produced for a Chinese audience. At the same time, they acknowledge the importance of subjectivity in elucidating important cultural facets of a significant revolutionary period.
