People’s China at 75: The Flag Stays Red
Edited by Keith Bennett and Carlos Martinez, Praxis Press, £25

PEOPLE’S CHINA AT 75 provides a rigorous materialist analysis and a coherent theoretical framing of the PRC’s place in the world today. 

Comprised of 11 incisive analyses framed by a capacious introduction, the book serves as a useful guide to anyone interested in a crash course on China by some of the world’s leading experts on the question. Given its readability, with concise essays and a total length of just under 150 pages, it is particularly well suited for full-time organisers and a broad readership outside of academic circles. 

Since it covers so much terrain and tackles many pressing questions head on, it is in many ways a perfect primer on China. At the same time, it is packed with empirical details, extensive references, and insightful analyses that will be of interest to those with a strong working knowledge of the PRC.
