Trade Review
"Co-winner of the 2019 Goldsmith Book Prize for Academic Books, Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School"
"One of Foreign Affairs' Picks for Best of Books 2018"
"[T]he clearest and most convincing explanation of how information is controlled in today’s China."---Ian Johnson, New York Review of Books
"[A] groundbreaking book . . . although it wears Roberts’s deep knowledge lightly, Censored represents the current state of the art in Chinese internet studies. . . . This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the free flow of information."---Jonathan Sullivan, New Scientist
"As part of a growing body of literature on the role of the state and civil society, the arguments made in this book demonstrate the China case has wide applicability to the study of censorship in a variety of other countries."---Carrie Liu Currier, Journal of Chinese Political Science
