Responses to Critics: The Real and the Ideal 323 Selected Bibliography 343 Index 369 This page intentionally left blank ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book was written over a stretch of two years. The first year was my sabbatical year at Stanford’s Center for Advanced Study in the Be- havioral Sciences (CASBS). Pace the occasional mountain lion attack, it was an ideal setting for thinking and writing. I am grateful for the ad- ministrative support and funding provided by CASBS and, above all, for the many friendships that developed over the course of the year. I would also like to thank the City University of Hong Kong, which cofunded my sabbatical. I owe special thanks to then head of department Ian Holliday and then Dean Matthew Chen for facilitating this arrangement. The second year was spent at Tsinghua University (Beijing). I am par- ticularly grateful to Professor Wan Junren for his strong support and warm welcome. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the depart- ment of philosophy for conversations and friendship that have made my stay in Beijing both enjoyable and stimulating. I have received numerous comments on earlier drafts of the book. I am most grateful to the two readers for Princeton University Press— Joseph Chan and one anonymous referee—for reports that have helped me sharpen the argument. I would also like the following individuals for valuable comments on individual chapters: Sia Ackermark, Peter Baehr, Bai Tongdong, Charles Blattberg, Leah Briones, Joe Carens, Ci Jiwei, Jean-Marc Coicaud, John Delury, Avner de-Shalit, Paul Dumouchel, Chris Eisgruber, Fan Ruiping, Steve Geisz, Jonas Grimheden, Hahm Chaibong, Hahm Chaihark, He Baogang, Ian Holliday, Philip Ivanhoe, Leigh Kathryn Jenko, Will Kymlicka, Theresa Lee, Linda Li, Li Qiang, Liang Zhiping, Huichieh Loy, Roy Mill, Kathleen Much, Paik Wooyeal, Randy Peerenboom, Franklin Perkins, Elaine Scarry, Song Bing, Tan Sor- hoon, Michael Walzer, Ben Wong, and Chan-Liang Wu. I would also like to thank I-Chung Chen, Tom Chu, Mike Dowdle, Fan Ruiping, Russell Arben Fox, Krzysztof Gawlikowski, Tom Gold, He Baogang, Huang Ko-wu, Kanishka Jayasuriya, Will Kymlicka, Ethan Leib, Linda Li, Liu Wenjia, Jeff McMahan, Christopher McNally, Andrew Murphy, Antony Ou, Randy Peerenboom, Thomas Pogge, Edmund Ryden, Sing Ming, Frank Upham, T. Y. Wang, and Xiao Qiang for sending material that has been useful for my book. Let me also thank my research assistants at Stanford, Rakhi Patel and Zhang Chenchen; and in Beijing, Chang Huili, Li Wanquan, Tu Wenjuan, and Zhang Yanliang. Thanks also to Anita O’Brien for careful copy edit- ing. I have been learning Chinese for several years, and I would like to xii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS thank my teachers. I owe special thanks to three graduate students in Beijing who have generously offered their time to help me improve my classical Chinese: Kong Xinfeng, Liu Wenjia, and Wu Yun. The transla- tions are my own, unless indicated otherwise, and I do not want to im- plicate my teachers if there are any mistakes! Over half of the book consists of new material. However, I have been thinking and writing about some of these topics for a long time, and the book draws on some previous work that has been substantially revised and updated. I wish to thank several publishers for permission to incor- porate previously published material: Chapter 4 draws on my essay (cowritten with Joseph H. Carens), “The Ethical Dilemmas of International Human Rights and Humanitar- ian NGOs: Reflections on a Dialogue between Practitioners and Theo- rists,” Human Rights Quarterly, May 2004; and on my introduction to Ethics in Action: The Ethical Challenges of International Human Rights NGOs, coedited with Jean-Marc Coicaud (New York: Cambridge Uni- versity Press, 2006). Chapter 5 draws on my essay (cowritten with Paik Wooyeal), “Citi- zenship and State-Sponsored Physical Education: Ancient Greece and Ancient China,” Review of Politics, May 2004. Chapter 7 draws on my contribution to Democratization and Identity: Regimes and Ethnicity in Southeast Asia, ed. Susan J. Henders (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2004). Chapter 8 draws on my essay, “Teaching in a Multicultural Context: Lessons from Singapore,” Dissent, Spring 2000. Chapter 9 draws on my contribution to Confucianism for the Modern World, ed. Daniel A. Bell and Hahm Chaibong (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2003). Chapter 11 draws on my contribution (cowritten with Nicola Piper) to Multiculturalism in Asia: Theoretical Perspectives, ed. Will Kymlicka and He Baogang (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005). I am most grateful to my editor, Ian Malcolm, for his support and in- terest in the project; to Joe Carens, Paik Wooyeal, and Nicola Piper, who cowrote earlier versions of chapters 4, 5, and 11, respectively; to my dear friend Tatiana Sayig, who designed the cover; and to my wife Song Bing, our child Julien Song Bell, my mother, Anthony, Valérie, Oliver, grandmother, as well as family members in China, for emotional sup- port. I dedicate this book to my father, Don Bell, who left this world on March 8, 2003. If I like writing books, it’s because of him. Beyond Liberal Democracy This page intentionally left blank 1 Introduction: One Size Doesn’t Fit All In May 2002 the eminent American legal theorist Ronald Dworkin toured several Chinese universities and delivered lectures on human rights. The Chinese translation of his renowned book Taking Rights Se- riously had been topping the best-seller lists for several weeks and his public lectures drew literally thousands of people. At the time, Professor Dworkin’s tour was compared to the visits to China eight decades ago by John Dewey and Bertrand Russell.

  • Harrold, Stanley C. “The Pearl Affair: the Washington Riot of 1848.”
    Washington History in the Classroom This article, © the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., is provided free of charge to educators, parents, and students engaged in remote learning activities. It has been chosen to complement the DC Public Schools curriculum during this time of sheltering at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Washington History magazine is an essential teaching tool,” says Bill Stevens, a D.C. public charter school teacher. “In the 19 years I’ve been teaching D.C. history to high school students, my scholars have used Washington History to investigate their neighborhoods, compete in National History Day, and write plays based on historical characters. They’ve grappled with concepts such as compensated emancipation, the 1919 riots, school integration, and the evolution of the built environment of Washington, D.C. I could not teach courses on Washington, D.C. Bill Stevens engages with his SEED Public Charter School history without Washington History.” students in the Historical Society’s Kiplinger Research Library, 2016. Washington History is the only scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the history of our nation’s capital. It succeeds the Records of the Columbia Historical Society, first published in 1897. Washington History is filled with scholarly articles, reviews, and a rich array of images and is written and edited by distinguished historians and journalists. Washington History authors explore D.C. from the earliest days of the city to 20 years ago, covering neighborhoods, heroes and she-roes, businesses, health, arts and culture, architecture, immigration, city planning, and compelling issues that unite us and divide us.

    A Moment in Time 聲光轉逝 Press Kit CONTACTS e: [email protected] www.kbikfilms.com The image of Bai Xue-xian illuminates the curtain at the Great Star Theatre in San Francisco’s Chinatown. A Moment in Time Directed by Ruby Yang Producer Lambert Yam Executive Producer William Smock Length: 57 minutes Film Format: DV CAM Original Language: English Short Synopsis A Moment in Time is a one-hour documentary about the experience of the Chinese in America through the films they loved. Paragraph Synopsis A Moment in Time, a new film by Oscar-winner Ruby Yang, is a one-hour documentary about the experience of the Chinese in America through the films they loved -- from Cantonese opera to Westerns. It harkens back to a time when six movie theaters in San Francisco’s Chinatown crystallized the memories, the beliefs, the sorrows and aspirations of Chinese immigrant families. Chinese movies reduced an older generation to tears. They challenged the young to find out how they could be American and Chinese at the same time. The principal speakers in A Moment in Time grew up here: Irene Dea Collier, Jimmie Lee, Chuck Gee, Cecilia Wong, Amy Chung, Norman Fong. As children they associated Chinese movies (and the Chinese language) with their parents’ alien, backward world. Eventually they found their own reasons to appreciate Chinese film. The heartbeat of A Moment in Time is a series of clips from films that were hits in Chinatown. A Moment in Time shows how Chinese movie theaters could be both a battlefield between the generations and a profound affirmation of what it means to be Chinese American.

  • “A Dream Deferred”: the Southern Negro Youth Congress, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and the Politics of Historical Memory
    “A DREAM DEFERRED”: THE SOUTHERN NEGRO YOUTH CONGRESS, THE STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE, AND THE POLITICS OF HISTORICAL MEMORY “WHAT HAPPENS TO A DREAM DEFERRED?” —LANGSTON HUGHES When the inimitable W. E. B. Du Bois stepped to the podium in Columbia, South Carolina’s Township Auditorium late that Saturday afternoon, October 20,1946, he proudly peered out over an enthusiastic crowd. A loud speaker carried his long-awaited message to those eager to hear him yet unable to get in; the overflow had gladly assembled on the lawn outside the auditorium. On the occasion of its Seventh Annual Southern Youth Legislature, the Southern Negro Youth Congress (SNYC) was delighted to be honoring Du Bois: “the senior statesman of the American Negro’s liberation struggle, the noble and peerless patriarch of our steady climb out of slavery’s darkness into the light of full freedom.”1 Before an audience of over 2,000, Du Bois spoke prophetically of a future black freedom movement coming out of the South led by the region’s black youth, a movement that he hoped would transform the South, the nation, indeed the world. “The future of American Negroes is in the South,” Du Bois proclaimed. “I trust then that an organization like yours is going to regard the South as the battle-ground of a great crusade…. This is the firing line not simply for the emancipation of the African Negro and the Negroes of the West Indies; for the emancipation of the colored races ….” Du Bois’ stirring message ignited applause from the audience, which took his message to heart.

  • KCNA FILE NO. 18 the Proposed Agreement, This KCNA Story Serves As a Reminder to Both North and South Koreans of the History Between Themselves and Japan
    SINO-NK.COM KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY FILE NO. 18 1 July 2012 –14 July 2012 Analysis: Of the 21 stories published about China by KCNA for this two- week period, 14 relating in a specific way the relationship between China and the DPRK. As with KCNA File No. 17, this latest batch of stories seems focused on ensuring both North Korean and foreign readers are reminded of the strength of the traditional alliance with China, the reliable safety net. In addition to the usual delegations, coverage was granted to Mt. Chilbo as a tourist destination for Chinese citizens, and stories about commemoration of DPRK leaders by Chinese citizens. Undoubtedly the important topic covered was the celebrations surrounding the 51st anniversary of the signing of the DPRK-China treaty. Four stories were published devoted solely to the coverage of this important event, which among other things detailed remarks by Liu Hongcai, the Chinese ambassador to North Korea, at a banquet. In remarks by Choe Chang Sik, the North Korean official stated that “It was the last instructions of General Secretary Kim Jong Il […] to boost the DPRK-China friendly and cooperative relations.” It seems that this anniversary could not have come at a better time for the DPRK as it continues to find itself in disputes where the presence of China as an ally has greatly been to North Korea’s benefit. Finally, a three stories were published about the rave reviews the DPRK’s opera “The Flower Girl” is receiving from theatregoers in China. This unusual amount of coverage for an ostensibly non-political story might have been utilized by KCNA and the DPRK leadership to demonstrate the increasing cultural exchange between the two allies.

  • Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang a DISSERTATION
    Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jesse L. Field IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Paul Rouzer June, 2012 © Jesse Field 2012 i Acknowledgements My advisor, Paul Rouzer, introduced me to Tan yi lu (On the art of poetry, 1946) and Guan zhui bian (Chapters on pipe and awl, 1978) by Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998). I was fascinated, puzzled and intimidated by these strange and difficult texts. When I looked up Qian Zhongshu, I found that his wife Yang Jiang (b. 1911) had penned a memoir called Women sa (We three, 2003), about Qian’s death and the life he, she and their daughter Qian Yuan (1937-1995) had had together. I read the text and was deeply moved. Moreover, I was struck that Yang Jiang’s writing was a kind of contemporary manifestation of classical Chinese poetry. I decided to take a closer look. Thanks to Ann Waltner, Wang Liping, and my classmates in the 2006-7 graduate seminar in Chinese history for discussions and encouragement to begin this project. My first paper on Yang Jiang received invaluable feedback from participants in the 2007 “Writing Lives in China” workshop at the University of Sheffield, especially Margaretta Jolly and Wu Pei-yi. A grant from the CLA Graduate Research Partnership Program (GRPP) in the summer of that year helped me translate We Three. Parts of this dissertation underwent discussion at meetings of the Association for Asian Studies in 2009 and 2011 and, perhaps even more fruitfully, at the Midwest and Southwest Regional conferences for Asian Studies in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
