Handbook of Protest and Resistance in China
Exploring the underlying themes of popular contention in China and examining their effect on relations between the government and society.
'No book on popular contention in China covers this much territory. All the important social groups are here as well as every conceivable type of resistance. This Handbook will provide a "one-stop shopping" for students of Chinese protest and repression for years to come.'
– Kevin J. O'Brien, University of California, Berkeley, US
