The author relates her experiences and observations after spending a year at Hangzhou University in China on a teaching exchange program during 1987-88, her students eager to absorb Western culture while sharing theirs with her, reflecting on the day to day deficiencies in China, the mixture of respect and disdain accorded Americans, the rigorous monotony there that passes for 'higher education', cramped living conditions, filthy classrooms, much more. Hardcover with dust jacket, 325pp. A very nice copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
One year before the protests in Tiananmen Square, Rosemary Mahoney participated in a teaching exchange between Harvard and Hangzhou University. At Hangzhou she was able to overcome her students' usual rigidity and achieve a rare and intimate glimpse of their culture and their attitudes. This remarkable memoir captures both the dreams and the grim realities her Chinese students faced within the confines of an oppressive political regime.
