Or maybe I could get one of them to read and report on it for me.... I'm most concerned with how the Cohen is going to go: it's in line with the program, but the furthest from my students' direct interests; I think that comparing it with the contemporary Hessler will lighten it up a bit.

One book you might look at is Zheng Yongnian -Discovering Chinere Nationalism in China- which is in some ways a response to Cohen. You might also do something with Dutton's -Streetlife China- which has a lot of interesting stuff on state control of society. Jonathan,
