How can the remembered details of everyday life help shed light upon those turbulent times? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eSome of Us\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of memoirs by nine Chinese women who grew up during the Mao era. All hail from urban backgrounds and all have obtained their Ph.D.s in the United States; thus, their memories are informed by intellectual training and insights that only distance can allow. Each of the chapters-arranged by the age of the author-is crafted by a writer who reflects back to that time in a more nuanced manner than has been possible for Western observers. The authors attend to gender in a way that male writers have barely noticed and reflect on their lives in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The issues explored here are as varied as these women's lives: The burgeoning rebellion of a young girl in northeast China. A girl's struggles to obtain for herself the education her parents inspired her to attain. An exploration of gender and identity as experienced by two sisters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eSome of Us\u003c\/i\u003e offers insight into a place and time when life was much more complex than Westerners have allowed. These eloquent writings shatter our stereotypes of persecution, repression, victims, and victimizers. Together, these multi-faceted memoirs offer the reader new perspectives as they daringly explore difficult-and fascinating-issues.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51817390113056,"sku":"9780813529691","price":70.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e083c69dcff8a262e6070a0f4cf3583e.webp?v=1781102434","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/some-of-us-chinese-women-growing-up-in-the-mao-era-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
