"Tiananmen Square is the most sacred space in Beijing - a site for Mao's monumental portrait, for museums, parades and, more recently, for violent demonstrations. Wu Hung grew up in Beijing and witnessed its transformation. In this lavishly illustrated work he offers a vivid, often personal, account of the struggle over Beijing's reinvention and offers new insights into the city's history. The final part of the book is devoted to paintings, photographs and performances by artists that take issue with the political and cultural meanings of Tiananmen Square and official efforts of repression."--Jacket.
