The Chinese Human Rights Reader: Documents and Commentary 1900-2000

Translations of approximately sixty selections from China’s twentieth-century human rights discourse, rendered into fluid, non-technical English. The documents are arranged chronologically and are presented in full wherever possible. Each selection is preceded by a brief introduction dealing with the author and the immediate context. To make the book even more user friendly, it also includes a glossary in which translations of key terms are linked to their Chinese equivalents.
