Covering China from the Ground Up
A journey with Michael Meyer
Sept 22, 7:00 pm HSS 225
Meyer, the author of In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China” will take us on a journey — via photographs — across Manchuria’s past, a history that explains much about contemporary China—from the fall of the last emperor to Japanese occupation and Communist victory. Meyer will also talk about the challenges of reporting from China and how a freelance writer can fund and produce books that reach a wide audience.
Talk sponsored by Asian Studies, Dr. Yu-Chen Liu Memorial Fund, Elizabeth Ray Sweeney Memorial Fund/Journalism and Public Relations Department, Cook Honors College, Departments of History, Political Science, Communications Media and English.
