This book explores the link between the everyday relations of gender and the reform of the rural political economy in the 1980's, and argues that the reconstitution of the Chinese state in the reform era draws force and authority from the inherent politics and power of gender.
Back Jacket
For Judd, the question of how we are to think about Chinese gender is answered by situating women's productive and reproductive work in the complex force-field generated by a changing political economy. To do this requires the theoretically informed, locally detailed, and comparative attention to observable human beings that Judd gives us here. This extraordinary book is a new classic in China studies and gender analysis.--American Anthropologist
