This book uses the dramatic occupation of Tiananmen Square as the foundation for rethinking the cultural dimensions of Chinese politics, including coverage of key issues, such as the political dimensions of popular culture and the struggle for control of public discourse in the post-1989 era.

The massacre in Tiananmen Square in June 1989 raised issues about the nature of revolution and protest in China and the attitude of China's leaders to calls for reform. This book explores the 1989 student movement in a broad historical and cultural context.
