Description

This Routledge book examines the development of anthropology's four fields across China, tracing how twentieth-century political upheaval and social transformation shaped the discipline's evolution. Greg Guldin provides a comprehensive analysis of anthropological practice in China, contextualising the subject within broader political movements and examining its trajectory from early Western influence through Soviet connections to the Maoist era. The work explores how external pressures and internal politics fundamentally altered Chinese anthropological research, methodology and institutional development, offering crucial insight into how political systems directly influence academic disciplines. Part of the Studies on Modern China series, this volume serves as an essential reference for understanding China's unique anthropological history and the complex relationship between state policy and scholarly inquiry in the social sciences.
