Description
Red Memory: The Afterlives of China's Cultural Revolution by Tania Branigan The legacy of China's Cultural Revolution continues to shape the country today, yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia. This book explores the stories of those who are driven to confront the era, fearing or yearning its return. As a society struggles to come to terms with its past, Tania Branigan reflects on her own experiences as a journalist stationed in Beijing during this tumultuous period. She examines how the absence of trust and the blurring of past and present can have profound effects on individuals and communities. By shedding light on the ongoing impact of the Cultural Revolution, Red Memory offers a nuanced understanding of one of China's most pivotal decades.
