Report from Xunwu
Long described as lost, this report was the result of Mao Zedong's investigation in 1930 of the people, economy, society and history of the obscure rural county of Xunwu in South China. An extraordinary document that far exceeds in scope and depth Mao's other investigative reports on rural China, the report is a rich source of information on rural administration, commerce, transportation, communication, education, land tenure, taxation, religion, diverse social relations and practices and struggle in one obscure area that was a microcosm of China. Thompson has translated and presented Mao's report with extensive notes. The book is designed to be accessible to non-specialists, and it will be welcomed by those interested in the Chinese countryside, comparative revolution and historical anthropology. Because Mao's report on Xunwu was part of a revolutionary programme, the report raises complex questions about academic and activist readings of social realities.

Ethics and Aesthetics of Freedom in American and Chinese Realism
The goal of this monograph is to complicate the postmodernist argument that art is always already political and does so by studying literary realism as practiced by American and Chinese writers, utilizing the perspective of Michel Foucault. It performs a careful reading of Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady and The Princess Casamassima, William Dean Howell's A Hazard of New Fortunes, and The World of Chance, Liu Binyan's People or Monster? and Sound is Better Than Silence and Zhang Xianliang's Half Man is Woman and Getting Used to Dying. It demonstrates that both sets of realist writers provide interpretive presentations of social realities in order to dismantle cultural appearances (the gospel of wealth, social Darwinism, political liberalism, party purity and historical progress).

Art and Politics in China, 1949-1984

It focuses in particular on three important facets of this relationship, namely, the organizational structure of China's art establishment, the ideological framework for directing creative activity, and the political movement as a key method for periodically ensuring that artists follow the current official line.
