Land Without Ghosts

Americans have long been fascinated with European views of the United States. The many Chinese commentaries on America, however, have remained largely unavailable to the English reader. "Land without Ghosts" presents for the first time selections on America from Chinese writings over the last 150 years. Included are extracts from the travel diaries of nineteenth-century diplomats, a first-hand account of blacks in 1930s Alabama and of the young white Communists working to organize them.Arkush, R. David is the author of 'Land Without Ghosts' with ISBN 9780520062566 and ISBN 0520062566.
