Hi Listers:  Here's another book announcement.  This is already out in the 
UK and will be out in the US in September.  If anyone is seriously 
interested in adopting it for a course, let me know and I'll make sure the 
publisher sends you a copy.  Ditto if you might write a review. You might 
already be using my earlier *China's Environmental Challenges*... if so and 
you want me to zoom in and say hello to your students, I really enjoy that 
and am happy to do it!

Best,

Judy Shapiro

*“China Goes Green *brilliantly redefines our understanding of modern 
Chinese governance, dismantling a simplified portrait and illuminating the 
force, and the flaws, of the centralized approach that some officials call 
the “era of coercion.” These insights are vital to understanding not only 
China’s environmental policy but also its handling of public-health 
emergencies and other issues of urgent global interest.”
— Evan Osnos, author of *Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith 
in the New China*

“A clearly written, comprehensive and timely volume, China Goes Green will 
help students, researchers, and the general public understand how to think 
about China’s ’authoritarian environmentalism’ — or more accurately, as Li 
and Shapiro argue — ‘environmental authoritarianism’ under Xi Jinping. A 
concise guide to a very important issue.”
— Emily T. Yeh, University of Colorado Boulder, author of *Taming Tibet: 
Landscape Transformation and the Gift of Chinese Development*

Li and Shapiro trenchantly explore environmentalism as an element of 
China’s deepening and globalizing authoritarianism, while also showing that 
citizen involvement, or “supervision by the masses,” is required for such 
projects to succeed. Through nuanced case studies from urban air quality to 
reforestation, *China Goes Green* inspires us to focus on the relationship 
between sustainability and freedom – an endangered species in our 
increasingly illiberal world.
