Foreigners
under
Mao
Western
Lives
in
China,
1949–1976
is
a
pioneering
study
of
the
Western
community
during
the
turbulent
Mao
era.
Based
largely
on
personal
interviews,
memoirs,
private
letters,
and
archives,
this
book
‘gives
a
voice’
to
the
Westerners
who
lived
under
Mao.
It
shows
that
China
was
not
as
closed
to
Western
residents
as
has
often
been
portrayed.
The
book
examines
the
lives
of
six
different
groups
of
Westerners
‘foreign
comrades’
who
made
their
home
in
Mao’s
China,
twenty-two
former
Korean
War
POWs
who
controversially
chose
China
ahead
of
repatriation,
diplomats
of
Western
countries
that
recognized
the
People’s
Republic,
the
few
foreign
correspondents
permitted
to
work
in
China,
‘foreign
experts’,
and
language
students.
Each
of
these
groups
led
distinct
lives
under
Mao,
while
sharing
the
experience
of
a
highly
politicized
society
and
of
official
measures
to
isolate
them
from
everyday
China.

Recenzii
‘This
book
is
enjoyable
and
engaging.
The
author
introduces
a
small
but
dynamic
collection
of
enthusiastic
international
participants
in
post-1949
China
showing
unquestioned
loyalty
to
Mao’s
ideals.
Equally
intriguing
are
the
alternate
stories
of
diplomat
‘A
well-written
survey
about
the
variety
of
Westerners
who
lived
and
worked
in
the
People’s
Republic
of
China
between
1949
and
1976.
This
is
a
welcome
addition
to
the
“sojourner”
literature
about
foreigners
who
lived
in
twentieth-century
socialist
countri
