| book description |

Unfiltered Regard for China is a collection of six unique narratives of French academics who, through decades of fieldwork, research, and engagementâ€”some beginning as early as 1964 and continuing to the presentâ€”have explored Chinaâ€™s history, politics, and society. These distinct voices illuminate decades of transnational â€œscholar-state nexusâ€ in the context of the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in mainland China. Spanning generations of French scholars, this book features luminaries such as sinologist Marianne Bastid-BruguiÃ¨re and historian Michel Bonnin, alongside younger voices like sociologist Gilles Guiheux. These experts reveal the CCPâ€™s unchanging nature, despite surface-level reforms, while exploring the partyâ€™s evolving control over society under leaders from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping. Moving beyond traditional narratives focused on Beijing and Shanghai, this book delves into second- and third-tier cities across provinces like Fujian, Hebei, and Shandong, offering perspectives shaped by immersive research and deep ties with local communities. It captures the emotional, cultural, and intellectual connections of Sino-French engagements, providing readers nuanced perspectives on Chinaâ€™s social and political landscape through voices that have spent decades closely observing its evolution. This work is essential for students, scholars, and general readers interested in History, Political Science, Government, International Relations, and Asian Studies.
