Review Midwest Book Review: The Little Yellow Book is a unique and essential contribution to personal, community, college, and university library Contemporary China reference collections and supplemental studies lists. Martin Alexander, Asia Literary Review: Distilling Xi Jinping's many thousands of pronouncements into 180 succinct and immediately accessible pages, the authors have curated a mischievous collection of 300 quotations by China's powerful ruler. User 'furbowski' comment on Reddit: "It's not a government publication, it's an absurdist work of art." Jim Blackburn, New Eastern Europe: "Move over Mao, 'The Little Yellow Book' is the new 'Little Red Book', in that Xi Dada style sweeping China, which highlights the country from the outside in and from the inside out" Norman Stockwell, The Progressive: "The China of 2018 is a very different place from the China of a half century ago when a little red book of 'Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong' was first printed and distributed. But when the Communist Party Congress met in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in late October 2017 and elevated 'Xi Jinping Thought for the New Era of Socialism With Special Chinese Characteristics' to the same level as Mao Zedong Thought in the party constitution, it ushered in a new field of study. Between 1965-1976, billions of copies of 'the little red book' were printed and distributed. Every Chinese worker and peasant farmer was expected to carry a copy, and to study its contents. Countless U.S. leftists bought and carried copies of the English translation as well. In May 2018, the Communist Party's propaganda department published a 355-page, 30-chapter book to provide an "in-depth" understanding of Xi Thought. Now Julie O'Yang and Fernando Eloy have gathered their own collection of 300 quotations from Xi Jinping under the title The Little Yellow Book: Quotations from Chairman Xi Dada. Taken from speeches, press releases and news clippings, these quotations are "plucked out of context and strung together without much regard for chronology." Much like the quotations of Mao, they cover a range of topics and can be read singly or on groupings by topic. With a combination of humor and a depth of personal knowledge and experience, the authors attempt to shed light on the ideology of the man who may be the world's most powerful leader, from the globe's largest country. Whether studied to gain insight into the new China, or simply read as a curiosity, this book belongs in the collection of anyone interested in China and Chinese politics. After all, as Chairman Xi himself says in the pages of this small yellow book, "Who on Earth doesn't love a good leader?" About the Author Determined dreamer.
