A mother's ordeal : one woman's fight… af Steven W. Mosher
A chilling look inside of China's oppressive enforcement of its one-child policy. "Chi An" has the unique perspective of both enforcer and victim of this policy. With courageous honesty and soul-searching, she recounts her actions and their consequences to the would-be mothers under her authority, and the choice she eventually makes amidst threats to her and her family. An unforgettable, thought-provoking biography of a remarkable woman.
I've seen several recommendations for this book but put off reading it. I had read other books by Mosher so I thought I knew what was going to be said about population control. Not so. This book is not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs. The woman the story is about was a victim of population control, then an enforcer, then by accident, a victim again. This woman has a lot to live with, and yet she is given assylum in the states and is able to keep the last baby. Worth a read if you are interested in the population control methods and can stomach it.… (mere)
Written by a man who traveled by van through parts of China in the late 70's - previously unheard of. He was interested to see if the peasant's really were better off at the government told the world. He described how untrue that is and the surroundings and conditions he saw. Interesting story. I wonder if it's still the same in 2000.
I read another book by Steven Mosher so I was interested in what he had to say about his stay in a village in China. This was a good book about his time there and the relationships he developed and things he learned. I think it is well worth the read. It is interesting to watch his notions when he arrived change or grow with his time in country.
