All about China’s relentless path to world manufacturing dominance–as told through the frustrations of one American family.

In December 2005, author and journalist Sara Bongiorni wrote a short, humorous article chronicling how Chinese manufacturing had reached into every facet of her family’s daily life. This obscure article soon became a global phenomenon. It was reprinted from Canada to Dubai, with Bongiorni interviewed on CBS, NPR, Radio China, and other international outlets.

Obviously the topic had struck a chord–one that seized consumers’ attention across every cultural and economic border.

'A Year Without "Made in China"' is the thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining account of the difficulties one American family faces when they attempt to live an entire year without Chinese-produced goods. It does a remarkable job of taking a decidedly big-picture issue–China’s fast-changing status in the global economy–and communicating its impact on the daily life of the average consumer. Drawing on her years as an award-winning journalist, Sara Bongiorni fills the book with fascinating stories and anecdotes, such as Wal-Mart’s stubborn reluctance to admit just how much they rely on Chinese produced goods to stock their shelves. Hard-hitting and humorous, 'A Year Without "Made in China"' promises to generate plenty of "buzz".
