Memory is dangerous in a country built to function on national amnesia. A single act of public remembrance might expose the frailty of the state's carefully constructed edifice of accepted history, one kept aloft by strict censorship, blatant falsehood, and willful forgetting. Though the consequences of Tiananmen Square are visible everywhere throughout China, what happened there has been consigned to silence. In The People's Republic of Amnesia, NPR's China correspondent Louisa Lim offers an insider's account of this seminal tragedy, revealing the enormous impact it had on China and the reverberations still felt today. Official hypocrisy and the government's obsession with maintaining stability and silence have deepened June 4th's impact on the nation's psyche. Lim interweaves portraits of eight individuals whose lives have been shaped by June 4--including the two women who started Tiananmen Mothers, one of the first and most prominent grassroots organizations outside the Chinese government's control; a student survivor involved in the protests; a soldier who took part in the suppression; and a high-ranking government administrator who played a role in ordering the tanks into the square. In the process she offers a textured, intimate, and haunting look at the national tragedy and an unhealed wound"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000864240 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000864240 651_0 $$aChina$$xHistory$$yTiananmen Square Incident, 1989. 000864240 651_0 $$aChina$$xHistory$$yTiananmen Square Incident, 1989$$xInfluence. 000864240 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLim, Louisa.$$tPeople's Republic of amnesia : Tiananmen revisited.$$dNew York, New York : Oxford University Press, USA, [2014]$$z9780199347704$$w(DLC)10858479 000864240 852__ $$bebk 000864240 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1675126$$zOnline Access 000864240 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:864240$$pGLOBAL_SET 000864240 980__ $$aEBOOK 000864240 980__ $$aBIB 000864240 982__ $$aEbook 000864240 983__ $$aOnline
