Transformations in China -...

Jun Liu

Transformations in China explores the sweeping cultural, political, and economic changes that have reshaped China from ancient times to the modern era. This 3-in-1 volume covers pivotal periods in Chinese history, focusing on three major forces of transformation: Modernization and Reform, The Cultural Revolution, and The Silk Road. From the ancient trade routes that connected China to the rest of the world, to the turbulent policies of the 20th century, this book captures the resilience and complexity of a civilization in constant evolution.
The journey begins with the Silk Road, which served as the lifeblood of commerce and cultural exchange for centuries. More than a trade route, it was a corridor for sharing religions, inventions, languages, and ideas between East and West. The narrative then moves to the 20th century, examining The Cultural Revolution, a period of radical upheaval that profoundly altered Chinese society. Spearheaded by Mao Zedong, this political campaign reshaped education, tradition, and family life, leaving a lasting mark on Chinese identity.
Finally, the book explores Modernization and Reform, spotlighting China’s transition from a closed, agrarian state to a global economic superpower. Beginning with Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 20th century, this section details the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and globalization that have defined modern China. Transformations in China presents a sweeping yet accessible account of how a nation has continuously redefined itself—often through conflict, always through change.

Yes I Can Say That - When They...

""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer
From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself.
“You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor
The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians.
In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship.
Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.
