China Between is a photographic exploration of the modern city culture of contemporary China.

When the Peoples’ Republic set up its Special Economic Zones in the 1980s communist China entered into global trade and international capital. The goal was financial but new money also brought new values and new ways of life. Polly Braden’s photography is an intimate response to the material and psychological effects of the changes experienced by the country’s new urban class. Shot over three years in Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenzhen and Kunming, China Between is a revelatory portrait. No longer will images of epic scenes dominate our viewof this country. Braden shows how a casual glance, a moment of doubt or a quick trip to the shopping mall can tell us as much about modern China as any image of a dam, a protest or a teeming workforce.

… anthropological documents and a personal travelogue; a series of intimate portraits and, more generally, studies of a country undergoing a massive transition from a predominantly agrarian to an urban culture. – Jennifer Higgie, editor of Frieze magazine

A winner of the Jerwood Photography Prize (2003) and The Guardian Newspaper Young Photographer of the Year (2002), Polly Braden has exhibited at venues internationally including the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London) and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago (USA). In recent years she has produced extended photo-essays in the UK, the Middle East, Morocco, Kenya and China and her photography has appeared in The Guardian, The Saturday Telegraph magazine, Ei8ht magazine, Portfolio, ICON, Photoworks, Frieze, The Sydney Morning Herald and D Magazine (Italy). Now based in London, Polly has lived in China and photographed the country over the last decade.

The book is accompanied by texts by David Campany, Reader in Photography at the University of Westminster, London and by Jennifer Higgie, editor of Frieze magazine.

Comfortable casual shorts for summer wear.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
The twill chino style looks a little nicer than basic athletic shorts, and the drawstring waist keeps them easy to wear.

Slightly shiny material with a non neutral khaki color
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I ordered these for my husband as nice looking shorts that would be casual and comfy. The Large fit his 35" waist ok, a slightly baggy around the crotch. The material is lightweight and they are decent quality for the price. We were both not a fan of the slightly shiny sheen of the material and the khaki color is not a neutral khaki, it is more peach or coral undertoned. He was wearing a garment washed coral pink tone T-shirt when he tried these on and it clashed horribly. Might have looked better with a black or dark shirt but just not an easy khaki that goes with everything unfortunately. Because of the sheen and color he probably won't wear them and we will just donate.

Order larger than they suggest.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Do not listen to size suggestions. These are sized in China. Everything runs much smaller than what they are claiming. Amazons suggestions do not take this into account. They also don't feel like twill, maybe some kind of nylon woven like twill? Not sure.
