In the Red on Contemporary Chinese Culture
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Columbia Univ Pr
- Publish date: 04/01/1999
Illustrated with fascinating cartoons and photographs and rich with facts, anecdotes, and events, "In The Red" exposes the complex relationship between "official" culture (produced, supported, or sanctioned by the government) and "nonofficial" or countercultures (especially among urban youths and dissidents). Two key and contrasting events loom large in this narrative: the 1989 protests that ended with the June 4 massacre and a nationwide purge, and Deng Xiaoping's 1992 "tour of the south, " in which he emphasized the need for radical economic reform. Although a level of political tolerance has evolved since the 1970s, Barme sheds light on the significance of the intermittent denunciations of artists, ideas, and works.
