Material Contradictions in Mao's China
An excavation of the sociocultural, economic, and political history of everyday commodities The growth of markets and consumerism in China’s post-Mao era of political and economic reform is a story familiar to many. By contrast, the Mao period (1949–1976)—rightly framed as a time of scarcity—initially appears to have had little material culture to speak of. Yet people attributed great meaning to materials and objects often precisely because they …
J oshua H ill . Voting as a Rite
There are plenty of popular assumptions about the Chinese state and its history. One of the more prominent ones is that elections are and historically have been of little consequence to Chinese statecraft. Joshua Hill’s intellectual and cultural history of elections and voting in modern China, Voting as a Rite: A History of Elections in Modern China, convincingly dispels any such assumption. The book traces the concept and practice of Chinese ele…

Between 1951 and 1965, the People’s Republic of China regularly exhibited at the international trade fairs in the East German city of Leipzig. One of the major attractions of the fairs, China’s grand pavilion was second in size only to the pavilion of the Soviet Union.

Dictionaries and encyclopaedias, though, did not speak with one voice, even under Communist Party control. Lexicography and the question of who would get to publish on and explain the meaning of the 'new terms' and 'new knowledge' of 'New China' were subject to constant debates. Lexicographers, editors, and publishers specialized in the…
The Wobbling Pivot
The state and, by extension, state–society relations have been focal points in the study of Chinese history. From the Qing imperial state, with its minimalist bureaucracy, fabled meritocratic examination system, and complex administration of an expansive multi-ethnic and multilingual empire, to the centralised party-state of the People’s Republic of China that continues to exist today, much historical analysis has sought to understand attempts to…
