Prepared to accompany an exhibition that opened at the Asia Society in New York City in 1999, and is scheduled to travel to many venues through 2002, this stunning presentation of photos incorporates work from a long list of eminent photographers; complementing them is an intriguing essay by Rae Yang (East Asian studies, Dickinson College), who was born in 1950, in Beijing and was a member of the Red Guards before emigrating to the United States. The images begin with photos of leaders during the late 1930s, and move forward to the present day. The format is 12x10.5 inches. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
