A groundbreaking and surprising look at contemporary censorship in China As authoritarian governments around the world develop sophisticated technologies for controlling information, many observers have predicted that these controls would be easily evaded by savvy internet users. In Censored, Margaret Roberts demonstrates that even censorship that is easy to circumvent can still be enormously effective. Taking advantage of digital data harvested from the Chinese internet and leaks from China's Propaganda Department, Roberts sheds light on how censorship influences the Chinese public.

WHEN ADAM ROBERTS decides to find out if his nightmares are connected to his past, he returns to his childhood home. He never suspects he will find bodies buried in a secret tomb, learn everything he has been told about his family's history was a lie, and discover hidden secrets so explosive his own relatives will kill to keep them buried. Thus begins a quest that leads Adam and the woman he loves into a web of lies spun for more than one hundred years. But finding out what's in the family closet could prove fatal. Understanding himself means he must uncover the past his family had buried. Instead of an immigrant farmer, his grandfather had been the son of a legendary outlaw leader of the Old West. His grandmother, a quiet woman whose kitchen had always smelled of freshly baked bread, had been suspected by her husband of being a murderess. And then Adam discovers he has a granduncle he never knew existed who will stop at nothing to keep him from learning any more about the murders.
As the owner of a gold mine was executed for murder in 1891, he cursed the mine and anyone who tried to find it. Professor Paul Gregory and his graduate assistant collide head-on with con-men as both parties try to solve the mystery that has baffled seasoned prospectors and tenderfoots alike for more than a century.
