Abstract

270 China Review International: Vol. 11, No. 2, Fall 2004 structed traditional Chinese lineage and culture by putting logical emphasis on agnation to the exclusion of women's roles and affinal relations, until Margery Wolf and Rubie Watson's "discovery" of the agency of Chinese women and the significance of affinal relations. In his article in Ethnos, Aijmer significantly calls for a move from sinological anthropology toward an anthropology of China--in other words, anthropologists working on China must relate more to anthropology at large. However, the kind of deductive reasoning that Aijmer offers here is too much of an intellectual game to be useful to anthropology in general and to sinological anthropology in particular. But this by no means devalues Aijmer's significant contribution to the study of Chinese culture. Tan Chee-Beng Tan Chee-Beng is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong specializing in studies of Chinese in Southeast Asia and in Southern Fujian. Thomas P. Bernstein and Xiaobo Lü. Taxation without Representation in Rural China. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 2003. xviii, 282 pp. Hardcover $70.00, isbn 0­521­81318­2.
