Marriage Law and Gender in Revolutionary China
English

About The Book

Xiaoping Cong examines the social and cultural significance of Chinese revolutionary legal practice in the construction of marriage and gender relations. Her book is an empirically rich investigation of the ways in which a 1943 legal dispute over an arranged marriage in a Chinese village became a legal political and cultural exemplar on the national stage. This conceptually groundbreaking study revisits the Chinese Revolution and its impact on women and society by presenting a Chinese experience that cannot and should not be theorized in the framework of Western discourse. Taking a cultural-historical perspective Cong shows how the Chinese Revolution and its legal practices produced new discourses neologisms and cultural symbols that contained China''s experience in twentieth-century social movements and how revolutionary practice was sublimated into the concept of ''self-determination'' an idea that bridged local experiences with the tendency of the twentieth-century world and that is a revolutionary legacy for China today.
