Yet, Chinese-grounded ideas remain marginal, with China often seen as an ‘Other’ rather than a source of widely applicable theory. Drawing on East Asian postcolonial scholarship, this volume argues that without taking China seriously as a knowledge producer and a key agent in a post-global world, social scientists risk misinterpreting the global present. As Western globalisation wanes and anthropology reassesses the relationship between ethnography and theory, we show how ‘China’ must be understood as an ordinary, integral context for research worldwide.
