The fifteenth and final volume of the series The Making of Modern
Freedom, this book explores a variety of issues surrounding
questions of human rights and freedom in China. The chapters
suggest very significant realms of freedom, with or without the
protection of law, in the personal, social, and economic lives of
people in China before the twentieth century. This was recognized,
and partly codified, in the early twentieth century, when legal
experts sought to establish a republic of laws and limits. The
process of legal reform, however, would be placed firmly in the
service of strengthening the post-imperial Chinese nation-state,
culminating after 1949 in despotism unparalleled in Chinese
history. Nevertheless, the last decades of the twentieth century
and the first years of our own would witness a slow, steady, but
unmistakable reassertion of realms of personal and communal
autonomy that show, even in an era of strong states, at least the
prospect of institutionalized freedoms.
