Description
China's socialist past continues to shape its capitalist present. This collection of essays explores how contemporary China is haunted by the promises of capitalism, the institutional legacy of the Maoist regime, and the spirit of Marxist resistance. The contributors examine the effects of discrete practices they call "protocols", which stem from an overlapping mix of socialist and capitalist institutional strategies, political procedures, legal regulations, religious rituals, and everyday practices. These protocols constitute the Chinese national imaginary while opening spaces for new emancipatory possibilities. By analyzing the process of urbanization and its impact on marginalized communities and migrant workers, the contributors offer a nuanced theory of contemporary China's hybrid political economy.
