‎WALDER ANDREW G‎

‎China Under Mao: A Revolution Derailed‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Softcover. Brand new book. China's Communist Party seized power in 1949 after a long period of guerrilla insurgency followed by full-scale war but the Chinese revolution was just beginning. China Under Mao narrates the rise and fall of the Maoist revolutionary state from 1949 to 1976�an epoch of startling accomplishments and disastrous failures steered by many forces but dominated above all by Mao Zedong. Mao's China Andrew Walder argues was defined by two distinctive institutions established during the first decade of Communist Party rule: a Party apparatus that exercised firm sometimes harsh discipline over its members and cadres; and a socialist economy modeled after the Soviet Union. Although a large national bureaucracy had oversight of this authoritarian system Mao intervened strongly at every turn. The doctrines and political organization that produced Mao's greatest achievements�victory in the civil war the creation of China's first unified modern state a historic transformation of urban and rural life�also generated his worst failures: the industrial depression and rural famine of the Great Leap Forward and the violent destruction and stagnation of the Cultural Revolution. Misdiagnosing China's problems as capitalist restoration and prescribing continuing class struggle against imaginary enemies as the solution Mao ruined much of what he had built and created no viable alternative. At the time of his death he left China backward and deeply divided. Andrew G. Walder is Denise O'Leary and Kent Thiry Professor of Sociology at Stanford University and Senior Fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. "Perspicacious scholarship by the preeminent American historical sociologist working on the People's Republic of China. A balanced critical account of events of baffling complexity and a sophisticated analysis of uniquely solid empirical data. If reading is indeed the basics for all learning then this is the book to read in order to learn why Mao in the end accomplished so little of what he had hoped to achieve after 1949 and why his legacy remains so controversial."�Michael Schoenhals Lund University "This is a masterful synthesis of the literature on Mao Zedong's China and of Walder's own extensive sociological research. He combines Mao-centered political history with close attention to the organizational characteristics of the Communist Party which explain its responsiveness to Mao Zedong's often disastrous initiatives. In the author's view Mao was a 'rigidly dogmatic leader with extremely narrow and outdated ideas.' The book is replete with similarly incisive judgments. These will no doubt provoke controversy but in the end they are likely to be accepted."�Thomas P. Bernstein Columbia University Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2015 paperback‎

‎BROPHY DAVID‎

‎Uyghur Nation: Reform And Revolution On The Russia-china Frontier‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The meeting of the Russian and Qing empires in the nineteenth century had dramatic consequences for Central Asia's Muslim communities. Along this frontier a new political space emerged shaped by competing imperial and spiritual loyalties cross-border economic and social ties and the revolutions that engulfed Russia and China in the early twentieth century. David Brophy explores how a community of Central Asian Muslims responded to these historic changes by reinventing themselves as the modern Uyghur nation. As exiles and migrs traders and seasonal laborers a diverse diaspora of Muslims from China's northwest province of Xinjiang spread to Russian territory where they became enmeshed in political and intellectual currents among Russia's Muslims. From the many national and transnational discourses of identity that circulated in this mixed community the rhetoric of Uyghur nationhood emerged as a rallying point in the tumult of the Bolshevik Revolution and Russian Civil War. Working both with and against Soviet policy a shifting alliance of constituencies invoked the idea of a Uyghur nation to secure a place for itself in Soviet Central Asia and to spread the revolution to Xinjiang. Although its existence was contested in the fractious politics of the 1920s in the 1930s the Uyghur nation achieved official recognition in the Soviet Union and China. Grounded in a wealth of little-known archives from across Eurasia Uyghur Nation offers a bottom-up perspective on nation-building in the Soviet Union and China and provides crucial background to the ongoing contest for the history and identity of Xinjiang. 368 pages 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches 15 halftones 3 maps. David Brophy is a Lecturer in Modern Chinese History at the University of Sydney. "Drawing on sources in several languages this book demonstrates how the idea of a Uyghur nation emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Brophy shows how intellectuals in Taranchi and Kashgari communities along the Xinjiang-Russian border inspired by academic writings on ancient Uyghurs negotiated a new concept of Uyghur identity. This study is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Uyghur national idea and to Central Asian and Xinjiang studies."�Ablet Kamalov Institute of Oriental Studies Almaty Kazakhstan "In Uyghur Nation Brophy transforms our understanding of the history of the Uyghurs. At the center of Brophy's attention is the question of how the Muslims of Chinese Turkistan came to imagine themselves as Uyghur. He traces the emergence of Uyghurist discourse by placing Uyghur history firmly where it belongs�in the very center of Eurasia at the crossroads of three empires. Brophy relates the emergence of Uyghurist discourse to developments in Muslim societies of Xinjiang and beyond as they came to terms with pressures and influences from the Qing the Russian and the Ottoman empires. Prodigiously researched across many archives and in multiple languages Uyghur Nation is a major work of transnational history that deserves a wide readership."�Adeeb Khalid Carleton College "Uyghur Nation breaks new ground in the study of modern Xinjiang. David Brophy takes a transnational approach to the formation of a 'Chinese' ethnic group offering a convincing account of the impact of tsarist and particularly Soviet institutions evolutions and interventions on the Qing and then Republican Chinese frontiers. He also demonstrates that the idea of a Uyghur nation had a conflicted cross-border twentieth-century history. Perhaps most important he unites political intellectual social religious even economic history to create a story rooted in local conditions not simple national or ethnic categories. He has written a strikingly original and impressive book."�Jonathan Lipman Mount Holyoke College "Nothing I have read in the last fifteen years comes close to this work in terms of intellectual breadth rigorous analysis and contribution to the field. This book will not only revolutionize thinking about the history of the Uyghur nation and the political history of Xinjiang during this period it will set a new bar for future scholarship and inspire readers to think again about the processes challenges and opportunities within shifting political landscapes that lead to the creation of nations."�Laura Newby University of Oxford Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2016 hardcover‎

‎Harvard - Yenching Institute Monograph Series 98 - Traces Of Grand Peace Classics And State Activism In Imperial China Jaeyoon Song‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Since the second century BC the Confucian Classics endorsed by the successive ruling houses of imperial China had stood in tension with the statist ideals of "big government." In Northern Song China 960-1127 a group of reform-minded statesmen and thinkers sought to remove the tension between the two by revisiting the highly controversial classic the Rituals of Zhou: the administrative blueprint of an archaic bureaucratic state with the six ministries of some 370 offices staffed by close to 94000 men. With their revisionist approaches they reinvented it as the constitution of state activism. Most importantly the reform-councilor Wang Anshi's 1021-1086 new commentary on the Rituals of Zhou rose to preeminence during the New Policies period ca. 1068-1125 only to be swept into the dustbin of history afterward. By reconstructing his revisionist exegesis from its partial remains this book illuminates the interplay between classics thinkers and government in statist reform and explains why the uneasy marriage between classics and state activism had to fail in imperial China. Jaeyoon Song is Associate Professor in the Department of History at McMaster University. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2015 hardcover‎

‎HALSEY STEPHEN R‎

‎Quest For Power: European Imperialism And The Making Of Chinese Statecraft‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. China's history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has often been framed as a long coda of imperial decline played out during its last dynasty the Qing. Quest for Power presents a sweeping reappraisal of this narrative. Stephen Halsey traces the origins of China's great-power status in the twentieth century to this era of supposed decadence and decay. Threats from European and Japanese imperialism and the growing prospect of war triggered China's most innovative state-building efforts since the Qing dynasty's founding in the mid-1600s. Through a combination of imitation and experimentation a new form of political organization took root in China between 1850 and 1949 that shared features with modern European governments. Like them China created a military-fiscal state to ensure security in a hostile international arena. The Qing Empire extended its administrative reach by expanding the bureaucracy and creating a modern police force. It poured funds into the military commissioning ironclad warships reorganizing the army and promoting the development of an armaments industry. State-built telegraph and steamship networks transformed China's communication and transportation infrastructure. Increasingly Qing officials described their reformist policies through a new vocabulary of sovereignty�a Western concept that has been a cornerstone of Chinese statecraft ever since. As Halsey shows the success of the Chinese military-fiscal state after 1850 enabled China to avoid wholesale colonization at the hands of Europe and Japan and laid the foundation for its emergence as a global power in the twentieth century. 360 pages 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches1 map 6 graphs 10 tables.

‎LEWIS MARK EDWARD‎

‎China Between Empires: The Northern And Southern Dynasties‎

‎Belknap Press Cambridge: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. After the collapse of the Han dynasty in the third century CE China divided along a north-south line. Mark Edward Lewis traces the changes that both underlay and resulted from this split in a period that saw the geographic redefinition of China more engagement with the outside world significant changes to family life developments in the literary and social arenas and the introduction of new religions. The Yangzi River valley arose as the rice-producing center of the country. Literature moved beyond the court and capital to depict local culture and newly emerging social spaces included the garden temple salon and country villa. The growth of self-defined genteel families expanded the notion of the elite moving it away from the traditional great Han families identified mostly by material wealth. Trailing the rebel movements that toppled the Han the new faiths of Daoism and Buddhism altered every aspect of life including the state kinship structures and the economy. By the time China was reunited by the Sui dynasty in 589 CE the elite had been drawn into the state order and imperial power had assumed a more transcendent nature. The Chinese were incorporated into a new world system in which they exchanged goods and ideas with states that shared a common Buddhist religion. The centuries between the Han and the Tang thus had a profound and permanent impact on the Chinese world. 25 halftones 16 maps. Mark Edward Lewis is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Chinese Culture at Stanford University. "This series on China brilliantly overseen by Timothy Brook is a credit to Harvard University Press. Above all it encourages us to think of China in different ways."�Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review "The book is wide-ranging in scope and interspersed with interesting ideas."�V.C.

‎RUSK BRUCE‎

‎Critics And Commentators: The Book Of Poems As Classic And Literature‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. At once a revered canon associated with Confucius and the earliest anthology of poetry the Book of Poems holds a unique place in Chinese literary history. Since early imperial times it served as an ideal of literary perfection as it provided a basis for defining shi poetry the most esteemed genre of elite composition. In imperial China however literary criticism and classical learning represented distinct fields of inquiry that differed in status with classical learning considered more serious and prestigious. Literary critics thus highlighted connections between the Book of Poems and later verse while classical scholars obscured the origins of their ideas in literary theory. This book explores the mutual influence of literary and classicizing approaches which frequently and fruitfully borrowed from one another. Drawing on a wide range of sources including commentaries anthologies colophons and inscriptions Bruce Rusk chronicles how scholars borrowed from critics without attribution and even resorted to forgery to make appealing new ideas look old. By unraveling the relationships through which classical and literary scholarship on the Book of Poems co-evolved from the Han dynasty through the Qing this study shows that the ancient classic was the catalyst for intellectual innovation and literary invention.

From the Sino-Japanese War to the Communist Revolution the onrushing narrative of modern China can drown out the stories of the people who lived it. Yet a remarkable cache of letters from one of China's most prominent and influential families the Lius of Shanghai sheds new light on this tumultuous era. Sherman Cochran and Andrew Hsieh take us inside the Lius' world to explore how the family laid the foundation for a business dynasty before the war and then confronted the challenges of war civil unrest and social upheaval. Cochran and Hsieh gained access to a rare collection containing a lifetime of letters exchanged by the patriarch Liu Hongsheng his wife Ye Suzhen and their twelve children. Their correspondence offers a fascinating look at how a powerful family navigated the treacherous politics of the period.

They also describe the agonies of wartime separation protracted battles for control of the family firm and the parents' struggle to maintain authority in the face of swiftly changing values. Through it all the distinctive voices of the Lius shine through. Cochran and Hsieh's engaging prose reveals how each member of the family felt the ties that bound them together.

‎Home And The World: Editing The " Glorious Ming " In Woodblock-printed Books Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. China's sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw an unprecedented explosion in the production and circulation of woodblock-printed books. What can surviving traces of that era's print culture reveal about the makers and consumers of these books Home and the World addresses this question by carefully examining a wide range of late Ming books considering them not merely as texts but as material objects and economic commodities designed produced and marketed to stand out in the distinctive book marketplace of the time and promising high enjoyment and usefulness to readers. Although many of the mass-market commercial imprints studied here might have struck scholars from the eighteenth century on as too trivial lowbrow or slipshod to merit serious study they prove to be an invaluable resource providing insight into their readers' orientations toward the increasingly complex global stage of early modernity and toward traditional Chinese conceptions of textual political and moral authority. On a more intimate scale they tell us about readers' ideals of a fashionable and pleasurable private life. Through studying these works we come closer to recapturing the trend-conscious sophisticated and often subversive ways readers at this important moment in China's history imagined their world and their place within it. 5 halftones 64 line illustrations. Yuming He is Assistant Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California Davis. "Home and the World brilliantly fills a large gap in the existing literature on Ming book culture. It builds on the insights of earlier works and proposes a finer analysis of what texts in both their materiality and their contents can reveal about reading tastes and practices in the late Ming. In its focus on a range of different texts and its close analysis of these texts and their illustrations and their imagined readership this exciting and beautifully researched work signals the growing sophistication of the study of Chinese book culture."�Cynthia Brokaw Brown University "Home and the World makes a tremendous contribution to current scholarly understandings of the rise of print culture and its rapid spread during the Ming period� It complements and brings to completion previous work in literature art history particularly book illustrations the history of the book theater history and studies of popular culture by asking new and startlingly objective questions� By choosing a number of ostensibly dissimilar texts and by relentlessly combing contemporary texts for references to them He reveals new sources of information new avenues of interpretation and truly new insights."�Robert E.

‎CHANG GORDON H‎

‎Fateful Ties: A History Of America's Preoccupation With China‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Americans look to China with fascination and fear unsure whether the rising Asian power is friend or foe but certain it will play a crucial role in America's future. This is nothing new Gordon Chang says. For centuries Americans have been convinced of China's importance to their own national destiny. Fateful Ties draws on literature art biography popular culture and politics to trace America's long and varied preoccupation with China. China has held a special place in the American imagination from colonial times when Jamestown settlers pursued a passage to the Pacific and Asia. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Americans plied a profitable trade in Chinese wares sought Chinese laborers to build the West and prized China's art and decor. China was revered for its ancient culture but also drew Christian missionaries intent on saving souls in a heathen land. Its vast markets beckoned expansionists even as its migrants were seen as a "yellow peril" that prompted the earliest immigration restrictions. A staunch ally during World War II China was a dangerous adversary in the Cold War that followed. In the post-Mao era Americans again embraced China as a land of inexhaustible opportunity playing a central role in its economic rise. Through portraits of entrepreneurs missionaries academics artists diplomats and activists Chang demonstrates how ideas about China have long been embedded in America's conception of itself and its own fate. Fateful Ties provides valuable perspective on this complex international and intercultural relationship as America navigates an uncertain new era. Gordon H. Chang is Oliver H. Palmer Professor in Humanities and Professor of History at Stanford University. "A rich narrative populated by often-familiar characters and events seen through the parallax perspective of their thoughts on or relationship to China."�Sheila Melvin Caixin "A thought-provoking history of our 400-year preoccupation with China."�Kirkus Reviews "Whether discussing mutually beneficial trade and discourse or souring relations leading to conflict Chang argues that ties between China and the United States are not predestined but that the futures of both nations are nonetheless deeply intertwined."�Casey Watters Library Journal "Chang analyzes the past 300 years of Sino-American relations as the world's most populous nation is poised to regain economic supremacy. It's a succinct sharply focused analysis and Chang underlines America's status as a fledgling nation while China was an ancient empire."�Publishers Weekly "Chang's elegant analysis of America's long cultural obsession with China spans such diverse issues as the nation's early mania for tea and porcelain through the outpouring of 'yellow peril' literature in both the late-nineteenth and again in the early-twenty-first centuries. His many insights add a much needed depth and scope to understanding this often troubled but always important relationship."�Michael Schaller author of The U.S. and China: Into the Twenty-First Century "Fateful Ties is a brilliant narrative of America's obsession with China from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Chang's eloquently written history takes this country's ongoing mythmaking about China seriously and subjects it to a richly detailed critical analysis. An essential book for anyone interested in going behind the 'rise of China' headlines."�Marilyn B.

‎China's Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty‎

‎Belknap Press Cambridge: 2012. Softcover. Brand new book. The Tang dynasty is often called China's "golden age" a period of commercial religious and cultural connections from Korea and Japan to the Persian Gulf and a time of unsurpassed literary creativity. Mark Edward Lewis captures a dynamic era in which the empire reached its greatest geographical extent under Chinese rule painting and ceramic arts flourished women played a major role both as rulers and in the economy and China produced its finest lyric poets in Wang Wei Li Bo and Du Fu. The Chinese engaged in extensive trade on sea and land. Merchants from Inner Asia settled in the capital while Chinese entrepreneurs set off for the wider world the beginning of a global diaspora. The emergence of an economically and culturally dominant south that was controlled from a northern capital set a pattern for the rest of Chinese imperial history. Poems celebrated the glories of the capital meditated on individual loneliness in its midst and described heroic young men and beautiful women who filled city streets and bars. Despite the romantic aura attached to the Tang it was not a time of unending peace. In 756 General An Lushan led a revolt that shook the country to its core weakening the government to such a degree that by the early tenth century regional warlordism gripped many areas heralding the decline of the Great Tang. 24 illustrations 17 maps. Mark Edward Lewis is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Chinese Culture at Stanford University. "In China's Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty Mark Edward Lewis has done a superb job of synthesizing the scholarship on the Tang Dynasty 618-907 and rendering it into a readable account. Professor Lewis's general narrative of Tang history chapters two and three of the book is the best overview of Tang history in any language and would be a good starting point for anyone interested in the dynasty� There is a large corpus of scholarship in English on Tang dynasty history and culture. China's Cosmopolitan Empire is an admirable addition to that corpus. It will undoubtedly become the standard survey in English for the foreseeable future."�Peter Lorge Journal of Military History "Lewis' book will be of great interest and utility to general readers as well as students who are looking for a lucid overview of Tang history and culture."�Michael R. Drompp Journal of Asian History "Mark Edward Lewis has produced an impressive volume on the history of the Tang dynasty� Its greatest contribution is its integration of the latest secondary scholarship into interesting arguments about the evolution of Chinese society between the seventh and tenth centuries� This book remains an excellent place to see the latest insights into Tang history. It is a thought-provoking effort to synthesize that work and reflect on the significance of the Tang for China's history. If it inspires the next generation of students to pursue Tang history seriously Lewis will have made a real contribution to Tang studies."�Anthony DeBlasi Journal of Asian Studies "With clarity and rich details sustained by quotes anecdotes poems and visual images Lewis brings to life the vitality of a transforming China in geography politics urban life rural society the outer world kinship religion and writing all in comparison with previous times� Lewis's nuanced details of a changing Tang are direct challenges to the dated but still influential views of China as an unchanging Sinocentric empire uninterested in commerce and foreign contact."�Yihong Pan China Review International "A readable introduction to the Tang Dynasty."�J.K. Skaff Choice "This series on China brilliantly overseen by Timothy Brook is a credit to Harvard University Press. Above all it encourages us to think of China in different ways."�Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review "This is an impressive survey history of the Tang dynasty concise and accessible.

The friendships of writers of the mid-Tang era 780s-820s�between literary giants like Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen Han Yu and Meng Jiao Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi�became famous through the many texts they wrote to and about one another. What inspired mid-Tang literati to write about their friendships with such zeal And how did these writings influence Tang literary culture more broadly In One Who Knows Me the first book to delve into friendship in medieval China Anna M. Shields explores the literature of the mid-Tang to reveal the complex value its writers discovered in friendship�as a rewarding social practice a rich literary topic a way to negotiate literati identity and a path toward self-understanding. Shields traces the evolution of the performance of friendship through a wide range of genres including letters prefaces exchange poetry and funerary texts and interweaves elegant translations with close readings of these texts. For mid-Tang literati writing about friendship became a powerful way to write about oneself and to reflect upon a shared culture. Their texts reveal the ways that friendship intersected the public and private realms of experience and in the process reshaped both. Anna M. Shields is Associate Professor of Chinese at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. "Exemplary in its scholarship and written with great human warmth and compassion this book examines friendship among the literati of late 8th- and early 9th-century China as both an impetus to writing and as a social act. Through superb translations and acute interpretation Shields opens a window on many heretofore neglected aspects of Tang-dynasty culture. Readers will be enlightened captivated and often emotionally moved to a degree unusual in an academic study. A book that brings the medieval past alive."�Paul W.

‎China Under Mao: A Revolution Derailed‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. China's Communist Party seized power in 1949 after a long period of guerrilla insurgency followed by full-scale war but the Chinese revolution was just beginning. China Under Mao narrates the rise and fall of the Maoist revolutionary state from 1949 to 1976�an epoch of startling accomplishments and disastrous failures steered by many forces but dominated above all by Mao Zedong. Mao's China Andrew Walder argues was defined by two distinctive institutions established during the first decade of Communist Party rule: a Party apparatus that exercised firm sometimes harsh discipline over its members and cadres; and a socialist economy modeled after the Soviet Union. Although a large national bureaucracy had oversight of this authoritarian system Mao intervened strongly at every turn. The doctrines and political organization that produced Mao's greatest achievements�victory in the civil war the creation of China's first unified modern state a historic transformation of urban and rural life�also generated his worst failures: the industrial depression and rural famine of the Great Leap Forward and the violent destruction and stagnation of the Cultural Revolution. Misdiagnosing China's problems as capitalist restoration and prescribing continuing class struggle against imaginary enemies as the solution Mao ruined much of what he had built and created no viable alternative. At the time of his death he left China backward and deeply divided. Andrew G. Walder is Denise O'Leary and Kent Thiry Professor of Sociology at Stanford University and Senior Fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. "Perspicacious scholarship by the preeminent American historical sociologist working on the People's Republic of China. A balanced critical account of events of baffling complexity and a sophisticated analysis of uniquely solid empirical data. If reading is indeed the basics for all learning then this is the book to read in order to learn why Mao in the end accomplished so little of what he had hoped to achieve after 1949 and why his legacy remains so controversial."�Michael Schoenhals Lund University "This is a masterful synthesis of the literature on Mao Zedong's China and of Walder's own extensive sociological research. He combines Mao-centered political history with close attention to the organizational characteristics of the Communist Party which explain its responsiveness to Mao Zedong's often disastrous initiatives. In the author's view Mao was a 'rigidly dogmatic leader with extremely narrow and outdated ideas.' The book is replete with similarly incisive judgments. These will no doubt provoke controversy but in the end they are likely to be accepted."�Thomas P.

‎RUSKOLA TEEMU‎

‎Legal Orientalism: China The United States And Modern Law‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Since the Cold War ended China has become a global symbol of disregard for human rights while the United States has positioned itself as the world's chief exporter of the rule of law. How did lawlessness become an axiom about Chineseness rather than a fact needing to be verified empirically and how did the United States assume the mantle of law's universal appeal In a series of wide-ranging inquiries Teemu Ruskola investigates the history of "legal Orientalism": a set of globally circulating narratives about what law is and who has it. For example why is China said not to have a history of corporate law as a way of explaining its "failure" to develop capitalism on its own Ruskola shows how a European tradition of philosophical prejudices about Chinese law developed into a distinctively American ideology of empire influential to this day. The first Sino-U.S. treaty in 1844 authorized the extraterritorial application of American law in a putatively lawless China. A kind of legal imperialism this practice long predated U.S. territorial colonialism after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and found its fullest expression in an American district court's jurisdiction over the "District of China." With urgent contemporary implications legal Orientalism lives on in the enduring damage wrought on the U.S. Constitution by late-nineteenth-century anti-Chinese immigration laws and in the self-Orientalizing reforms of Chinese law today. In the global politics of trade and human rights legal Orientalism continues to shape modern subjectivities institutions and geopolitics in powerful and unacknowledged ways. Teemu Ruskola is Professor of Law at Emory University. "This well-researched thought-provoking book applies the analytical framework of Orientalism to the study of Chinese law. The book is much more than a study of the Chinese legal system. It provides a commentary on how an Orientalist interpretation denied the existence of law in China and provided the basis for the development of an American philosophy of empire that has influenced not only U.S. interactions with China but also America's relations with much of the non-European world� The book is a welcome addition to the growing literature in comparative legal studies and is a must read not only for students of Chinese and U.S. law but also for those interested in the larger questions concerning relations between the West and the non-European world."�H. Shambayati Choice "This breakthrough book places the legal study of China's relationship to the West and vice versa on a new and deep foundation. It deserves serious attention from any thoughtful student of comparative law."�Bruce Ackerman Yale University "Extraterritoriality was the exception until it became the norm�an anomaly of jurisdiction that set the precedent for other practices including extraordinary rendition indefinite detention offshore prisons and drone attacks. A history of conceptual makeshifts illocutionary effects and massive legal fictions Legal Orientalism painstakingly researched humorous and dispassionate uniquely accounts for the ambiguous place of China in the institutions of modernity."�Haun Saussy University of Chicago "Teemu Ruskola has written a provocative book on legal orientalism a subject that he conceptualizes and explores with originality and sophistication. His book makes an important contribution to multiple fields. On the one hand it is a historical analysis that illuminates important aspects of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century world history. On the other this book is urgently contemporary speaking to interest in legal studies and the social sciences about the place of law and legal reform in present-day China."�Mae Ngai Columbia University "Ruskola has written a work that stretches across time place and legal jurisdiction; Legal Orientalism shows a scholarly mind for detail combined with a rare degree of expansiveness and reach. A remarkable book."�Michael Dutton Goldsmiths University of London Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover‎

‎ALLEN SARAH M‎

‎Shifting Stories: History Gossip And Lore In Narratives From Tang Dynasty China‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2014. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Shifting Stories explores the tale literature of eighth- and ninth-century China to show how the written tales we have today grew out of a fluid culture of hearsay that circulated within elite society. Sarah M. Allen focuses on two main types of tales those based in gossip about recognizable public figures and those developed out of lore concerning the occult. She demonstrates how writers borrowed and adapted stories and plots already in circulation and how they transformed them�in some instances into unique and artfully wrought tales. For most readers of that era tales remained open texts subject to revision by many hands over the course of transmission unconstrained by considerations of textual integrity or authorship. Only in the mid- to late-ninth century did some readers and editors come to see the particular wording and authorship of a tale as important a shift that ultimately led to the formation of the Tang tale canon as it is envisioned today. Sarah M. Allen is Assistant Professor of Chinese at Wellesley College. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2014 hardcover‎
