A bibliography for today's China - We need to know this place
I recently finished a book proposal for my manuscript I Ran Away to China: Three Years in the Next Superpower. I needed to make a list of the competition - nonfiction books about China that indicate there is a reading public for my book. I have been reading everything about China that I can get my hands on for several years, so I was astonished to find many recently published books I hadn't heard of. And I was pleased. American publishers are "catching the wave," to use a phrase popular with my Chinese students in 2001.
I've read some of these books. For the books that I haven't read, I gleaned descriptions from reviews. There is a fabulous array, from humorous travel stories to indepth journalistic reports to academic discourses. I've divided them into two categories, the first are books about China in general, the second are about Xinjiang province and Uyghur people, my special interest.
