Xu Jilin is Professor of History at Shanghai Normal University, and is one of China's most prominent public intellectuals.

Reviews
'Within China today, there are many voices calling for reforms. Among them is the prominent liberal scholar Xu Jilin. And in Rethinking China's Rise: A Liberal Critique, David Ownby has produced an excellent English translation of eight essays Xu has written over the past decade.' Kishore Mahbubani, Harper's Magazine
