Reviews

Diamant's vivid and trenchant study offers a vital contribution to our understanding of the Chinese constitution as a political tool, both during the Mao era and today. It should be required reading for social scientists, legal scholars, and historians seeking to understand the interplay between state and society in the People's Republic, and the ways in which the Party-state is able to refashion key political instruments like state constitutions to better suit its needs. * Journal of Chinese Political Science *
