Teemu Ruskola (University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School; University of Pennsylvania - School of Arts & Sciences) has posted Book Review: A Certain Justice: Toward an Ecology of the Chinese Legal Imagination (Law & Literature, Vol 36, p.163, 2024) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
While there is already much excellent work in the genre of Chinese Law and Literature, Haiyan Lee’s A Certain Justice: Toward an Ecology of the Chinese Legal Imagination (University of Chicago Press 2023) sets a new standard for the field. This is a review Lee’s smart and ambitious book, which far exceeds the bounds of both law and literature, expanding into adjacent fields of legal and literary humanities: history, political theory, moral philosophy, and cognitive psychology, to name just some of the many literatures on which Lee draws. A Certain Justice is filled with exciting local and global insights, some of which are dazzling.
