Merle Goldman. From Comrade to Citizen: The Struggle for Political Rights in China. Cambridge: Harvard University Press. 2005. Pp. viii, 286. $39.95.

In view of increasing political strife in post-reform China, which is both volatile and violent, Merle Goldman presents a timely context and analysis. Using primary and secondary data, she argues that significant political changes have accompanied the country's extraordinary economic transformations in recent decades. Based on her intimate knowledge of China's political history, she chronicles how establishment intellectuals and dissidents have challenged the Chinese Communist Party in thought and action, especially in asserting citizens' political rights. Deviating from both Confucian literati and modern intellectual traditions, such rights struggles have moved political engagement beyond elite circles and into grassroots organizations.
