*Launch of

after Communism
by Dr Andrew Kipnis

*
We hope that you will join us between 6 and 8pm on Thursday May 1st to 
celebrate the publication of 'China and Postsocialist Anthropology' by 
ANU academic Dr Andrew Kipnis.
Professor Jonathan Unger, head of the China Contemporary China Centre 
will launch the book.
After Professor Unger's launch Andrew Kipnis will give a short talk 
about his book, how he came to write it and some of the issues he faced 
in doing so.

As Jonathan Unger stated in reviewing this book "'China and 
Postsocialist Anthropology' is a sophisticated and insightful analysis 
of post-socialist regimes,
seen through the prism of the Chinese case." China and Postsocialist 
Anthropology applies lessons learned from socialist governance, especially
in China, to the realm of social theory.

Andrew Kipnis is bilingual English/Chinese and has spent considerable 
time in China so he writes and speaks from much 'on the ground' 
experience. Hope you can join us!
