In search of Red Buddha

This book describes the life of a sojourner/exchange professor as she lives and works as one of the first Westerners to teach in the formerly closed city of Linfen, Peoples Republic of China. Prof. Street describes her experiences and invaluable insights gained through "cultural immersion." She also provides numerous case studies about the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath through the eyes of her Chinese colleagues "sent down to the countryside" in the 1960s.
