Abstract:
This essay examines four recent works that study men and women in contemporary and historical China. Despite their variety of approaches and subject matter, all four strive to demonstrate that gender is plural and fluid and intersects with class and race. They also show how scholars of China continue to explore the dynamics of cross-cultural relations and the use and development of cross-cultural theory.
