VICTIMS PERPETRATORS AND THE ROLE OF LAW IN MAO...

The relationship between politics and law in the early People's Republic of China was highly
contentious. Periods of intentionally excessive campaign justice intersected with attempts to
carve out professional standards of adjudication and to offer retroactive justice for those
deemed to have been unjustly persecuted. How were victims and perpetrators defined and dealt
with during different stages of the Maoist era and beyond? How was law practiced  understood 
and contested in local contexts? This volume adopts a case study approach to shed light on
these complex questions. By way of a close reading of original case files from the grassroots
level  the contributors detail procedures and question long-held assumptions  not least about
the Cultural Revolution as a period of lawlessness.
