Ai Weiwei's Blog, from a review by Roberta Tenconi

"The book gathers 29 months' worth of contents published on the Chinese artist's blog prior to its forced closure."

Ai Weiwei's Blog. Writings, Interviews, and Digital Rants, 2006–2009, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts (316 pp., US $24.95)

This book opens a new way for us to understand modern China, a society that is still very distant but increasingly present in our lives. It reminds us, in Ai Weiwei's words in the Citizen Investigation appeal that, "Your actions create your world." A great lesson in democracy, freedom and courage. --Roberta Tenconi
