Description: Obedient Autonomy : Chinese Intellectuals and the Achievement of Orderly Life, Hardcover by Evasdottir, Erika E. S., ISBN 0774809299, ISBN-13 9780774809290, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Social anthropologist Evasdottir focuses her research on Chinese law and issues of bureaucracy and authority within the Chinese legal community. In this ethnographic case study of Chinese intellectuals, she investigates why they, being highly educated and having a Marxist predilection to be aware of systemic oppression, do not band together to change or destroy the system. The answer, she says, lies in understanding how participation in and obedience to the rules can be used for change, the redistribution of resources, or the enhancement of individual lives; and in realizing that the rules are open to interpretation that allow people to maintain a degree of autonomy.
