Private Revolutions: Coming of Age in a New China - THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER de Yuan Yang

Private Revolutions: Coming of Age in a New China - THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Autor Yuan Yang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mai 2024

Considerăm că volumul Private Revolutions reprezintă o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea dinamicii sociale a Chinei contemporane, fiind o lectură relevantă pentru studenții și specialiștii în relații internaționale, sociologie și studii de gen. Autoarea, Yuan Yang, valorifică experiența sa dublă — de corespondent Financial Times și de cetățean britanic născut în China — pentru a oferi o perspectivă rară asupra mecanismelor de control și rezistență individuală. Remarcăm modul în care textul depășește analiza macroeconomică, concentrându-se pe micro-istorii: de la visul unei tinere de a urma studiile universitare, până la riscurile asumate de activiștii politici.

Această primă lucrare a autoarei completează contribuțiile sale anterioare din volumul colectiv Democracy, unde a explorat semnificația sistemelor politice. Private Revolutions acoperă o arie tematică similară cu Under Red Skies de Karoline Kan, însă se distinge printr-o abordare mai analitică și jurnalistică, integrând contextul politic global în experiențele personale. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Age of Ambition de Evan Osnos, care se concentrează pe ascensiunea economică și figuri proeminente, Yang își îndreaptă atenția către femeile obișnuite care refuză destinul prestabilit de stat, oferind o perspectivă feministă și sociologică profundă asupra cenzurii și inegalității.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2025

'As powerfully intimate as it is politically incendiary' VOGUE
'Private Revolutions could be a Netflix series, for family, violence and romance abound' IRISH TIMES
'A portrait of China through four women who refused to accept the life laid out for them. Incredible' SUNDAY TIMES
'A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change' PETER FRANKOPAN

Yuan Yang, the first Chinese-born British MP, tells the stories of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society. From June, who dreams of going to university rather than raising pigs, to Sam, forced into hiding as her activist peers are lifted from the streets, this is a singularly immersive portrait of a rapidly changing nation - and of the courage of those caught in the swell.

Recenzii

A portrait of the country through four women who grew up there in the eighties and nineties - and refused to accept the life laid out for them. Activists, factory workers, pig farmers turned students: they provide incredible insight into the lives of ordinary Chinese people
Brilliant, often tragic tales of life for women in modern China . . . It is Yang's straightforward prose that makes Private Revolutions a compelling read . . . Private Revolutions could be a Netflix series, for family, violence and romance abound
An engrossing new book that meticulously reports on a country in the throes of change, using the lives and choices of four women . . . What sets the story told in Private Revolutions apart is the speed and magnitude of this upheaval, captured by Yang with palpable admiration for the women negotiating these seismic shifts one day at a time
A remarkable debut from a gifted author
A story of an economic revolution and the price of it, one that Yang has chosen to tell by focusing on the individual stories of four remarkable women she has met . . . Yang knows how to tell a story and how to capture attention. Each of these interwoven tales is studded with fascinating details . . . We are absorbed and sometimes gripped. The picture that emerges is one of sheer grit
The stories Yang tells are the fruit of a set of close relationships that would be difficult to achieve now in China's changed mood. It is the tale of a unique time and an intimate picture of what it was like to live through, and learn to navigate, the storm
Private Revolutions interweaves the stories of a quartet of women born in the wake of China's Cultural Revolution, from Leiya, a garment factory worker in Shenzen, to Sam, a middle-class schoolgirl turned Maoist revolutionary. The prose is as powerfully intimate as it is politically incendiary, tackling the censorship and economic voraciousness plaguing China today head on
Written by one of the most sensitive and acute chroniclers of contemporary China working today, this is a beautiful, immersive, moving account of the country's whirlwind transformations since the 1990s, told through the lives of four extraordinarily resilient and idealistic Chinese women
A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change. A real eye-opener about life in contemporary China
This is a book of delights. Yuan Yang shows us the real China in all its complexity - the rich, detailed, often brutal life of the villages and cities. Anyone who wants to understand what China and the Chinese are like will find great pleasure, and sometimes pain, in reading it
Acute and moving - a frank, unsparing, yet tender portrait of young women searching for happiness and purpose in a fast-shifting world
A powerful and sometimes heartbreaking picture of the making of modern China. Brilliant
Private Revolutions has the extraordinary, novelistic power to show how everyday lives on the other side of the world are actually lived that won Behind the Beautiful Forevers a Pulitzer . . . A landmark work
Through the eyes of a quartet of women who were born in China in the 1980s and 1990s, Yang provides a fascinating portrait of womanhood and society in a rapidly evolving - and increasingly repressive - global superpower
Riveting . A powerful snapshot of four young Chinese women attempting to assert control over the direction of their lives, escape the narrow confines of their patriarchal rural roots and make it in the big city
A moving work of reportage, whose scale toggles between the global and the personal
