Chinese citizens make themselves at home despite economic
transformation, political rupture, and domestic dislocation in the
contemporary countryside. By mobilizing labor and kinship to make
claims over homes, people, and things, rural residents withstand
devaluation and confront dispossession. As a particular
configuration of red capitalism and socialist sovereignty takes
root, this process challenges the relationship between the politics
of place and the location of class in China and beyond.
Putting China into the context of general anthropology offers novel
insights into its history, culture and society. Studies in the
anthropology of China need to look outwards, to other
anthropological areas, while at the same time, anthropologists
specialised elsewhere cannot afford to ignore contributions from
China. This book introduces a number of key themes and in each case
describes how the anthropology and ethnography of China relates to
the surrounding theories and issues. The themes chosen include the
anthropology of intimacy, of morality, of food and of feasting, as
well as the anthropology of civilisation, modernity and the
state.The Anthropology of China covers both long historical
perspectives and ethnographies of the twenty-first century. For the
first time, ethnographic perspectives on China are contextualised
in comparison with general anthropological debates. Readers are
invited to engage in and rethink China's place within the wider
world, making it perfect for professional researchers and teachers
of anthropology and Chinese history and society, and for advanced
undergraduate and graduate study.
