    *Launch of
    China and Postsocialist Anthropology. Theorizing Power and**Society
    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!
