Engaging, candid, and at times amusing, Collaborative Damage makes
an insightful as well as a delightful read.
*CHINA QUARTERLY*
The book aptly captures the social dynamics characteristic of
Chinese investment and the inherent contradictions of transnational
capitalism.In short, this book contributes a reflexive, insightful
and gripping account of the practices and effects of Chinese
extraversion.
*Inner Asia*
Collaborative Damage provides a distinctive approach both to the
study of a controversial global phenome- non and to the practice of
ethnographic writing.
*The Developing Economies*
Collaborative damage is a cracking book. In all its confusion and
contrast, it may be much closer to the truth about the
twenty-first-century Chinese empire than more disciplined
mono-chromatic narratives.
*Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute*
