Recenzii
'A cast of Improbable Diplomats - newly-minted academics, young athletes, musicians, quirky scientists - populate this fascinating and carefully documented account of the historic reconnection of the US and China. Millwood restores the social element to global history.' Gordon H. Chang, author of Fateful Ties: A History of America's Preoccupation with China
'This is an outstanding book. Essential reading for those interested in the history of Sino-US relations, diplomacy and transnational movements, Pete Millwood's findings have powerful resonances for the present day, in which a pandemic threatens to resurrect between the two countries barriers troublingly similar to the Cold War's ideological blockades.' Julia Lovell, Professor of Modern China at Birkbeck, University of London and author of Maoism: A Global History
'Through impressive research and deep engagement with historiography, Improbable Diplomats illuminates key moments of cultural exchange between the US and the PRC during the 1970s. Its accounts of scholars and scientists and sportsmen help us better understand just how complex the Sino-American dynamic has been, and continues to be.' Joyce Mao, Middlebury College
'Improbable Diplomats reveals both an oft-neglected element to past ties and integrates it into the well-established narratives of high-level negotiations, making clear that neither should be considered in isolation. A vital read for anyone interested in US relations with China.' Meredith Oyen, author of The Diplomacy of Migration: Transnational Lives and the Making of U.S.-Chinese Relations in the Cold War
''Nixon goes to China' has become the stuff of legend, but as Pete Millwood shows in his absorbing new book, the summit meetings Nixon and Kissinger had with Mao and Zhou were only part of the story. Improbable Diplomats reveals that the 'exchange diplomacy' of athletes, musicians, and physicists was integral to the normalization of US-China relations. This brilliant transnational history is a welcome corrective to our usual preoccupation with leaders at the top.' Andrew Preston, author of American Foreign Relations: A Very Short Introduction
'Richly documented and nuancedly argued, this transnational history explores exchanges in sports, culture, science and technology that have reshaped US-China relations and the world we live in today.' Zuoyue Wang, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
