Abstract

nacularization of state initiatives at the grassroots level. It seems that the author is more successful in describing “resourceful” local people’s manipulation of Qing law to serve their interests (89) than the Republican citizens’ creative use of the new Civil Code. In addition, at points in the book the narrative flow is disrupted by repetition. Despite such minor concerns, this book is a must-read work for anyone who is interested in modern Chinese history, family–state relations, gender, and China’s changing political cultures in the past several centuries.

《警察事务:1900-1975年南印度的日常国家和种姓政治》,伊萨卡和伦敦:康奈尔大学出版社,2021年。241页。平装本19.95美元(ISBN 9781501761065)。
国家在基层的主动性。与共和党公民创造性地使用新《民法典》相比,作者似乎更成功地描述了“足智多谋”的当地人操纵清朝法律以服务于他们的利益(89)。此外,在书中的某些地方,叙事流程被重复打乱了。尽管有这些小问题,但对于任何对中国现代史、家国关系、性别以及中国过去几个世纪不断变化的政治文化感兴趣的人来说,这本书都是必读之作。
