Produktinformationen zu „China Underground (ePub)“
An American's experiences of the traditions, changes, and subcultures of 21st-century China-"a seamless portrait of a complex modern society" (Publishers Weekly).
Formerly a student in Bejing, Zachary Mexico returned to China in 2006 to chronicle the immense changes in Chinese society ushered as it joined the world's headlong rush into the future. Focusing on the Chinese of his generation, Zach journeys into the vibrant subcultures of the marginalized and outcast that exist alongside China's centuries of tradition.
Talking to such varied personalities as a mafia kingpin, a prostitute, and a wannabe rock star, Zach offers a unique perspective on the radical shifts in Chinese society. Finding individuals with fascinating stories, he delves into topics ranging from culture to politics to environmental issues and sexual mores.
Readers will meet a closeted graphic designer; a self-taught disaster photographer; a struggling punk band; a ladies' man who can't stay in one place; and many more faces of this unique country. This is a remarkable portrayal of a country undergoing rapid-fire change in a place where timeless historical legacies still line the streets.
