Reviews
'Empirically rich and conceptually innovative, Cong's book presents a detailed investigation of the development of the Communist judicial system in the BR as well as a close examination of the social and cultural implications of Chinese revolutionary legal practice for women and gender relations ... Deftly moving between legal history and cultural history, and deploying interdisciplinary approaches to tacking historical puzzles, Xiaoping Cong has made a significant contribution to the history of the Chinese Communist Revolution.' The American Historical Review, 'This book is a very interesting work that gives an original contribution to the historical knowledge of a period and a theme, that of Chinese marriages, previously known only through stereotypes and dated works.'

Synopsis
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., In this empirically rich exploration of the social and cultural significance of Chinese communist legal practice in constructing marriage and gender relations in the turbulent period from 1940 to 1960, Xiaoping Cong interrogates the development of the revolutionary principle of 'self-determination' in the choice of marriage partner.
