Pap. Chicago, 2005

Book ID: 66174

Considers Tiannanmen Square's transformation from a restricted imperial domain into a public arena for political expression, from an epic symbol of socialism into a holy relic of the Maoist regime, and from an official and monumental complex into a site for unofficial and antigovernment demonstrations, as well as its role as a touchstone for official art in modern China.
