- This book explores the complex relationship between human rights discourse, law and social practice in China. It emerges from many years of engagement with Chinese human rights activists and is also borne of fieldwork conducted during 2015-2016 with the support of the PC Woo Fellowship. It traverses both human rights and political theory to integrate a theoretical and historical examination of rights in China with an empirical analysis of the practice of rights defence by lawyers, civil society activists and journalists.
