In 1956 Marc Riboud became one of the first Western photographers to enter China since the Communist takeover of 1949--and he was permitted to return regularly over the next four decades. This book presents his compelling record of the far-reaching and rapid changes that have taken place as China has evolved through the revolutionary era into a puritanical tyranny, and finally into a mirror of the capitalist West. 150 duotone photos.The photographer presents photographs taken in China from the 1950s through the 1990s.
