Abstract

Nicola Spakowski’s “Socialist Feminism in Postsocialist China” points out and begins to evaluate a current in contemporary neosocialist, Chinese, fem - inist scholarship. Since 2010 Dong Limin, Min Dongchao, Song Shaopeng, and Wang Lingzhen have been reinterpreting socialist feminist theories to offset an earlier regime, erected on disavowed socialism, and to reevalu- ate the present economic liberalization’s relation to the socialist past. While they claim to reevaluate Chinese socialist feminism, they foreground Nancy Fraser’s work, nonetheless. This is to acknowledge their own universality and lack of specic fi ity and to question Ford Foundation – funded “gender” theory in translation and current Chinese statist political chronologies. These scholar militants for a new socialist feminism are, Spakowski argues, consequently both subjects and objects of their own workshops, discussion forums, publications, and critical interventions. positions 26:4 doi 10.1215/10679847- 7050465 Copyright 2018 by Duke University Press Downloaded from https://read.dukeupress.edu/positions/article-pdf/26/4/549/553196/0260549.pdf by DEEPDYVE INC user on 22 August 2019 positions 26:4 November 2018 550 Spakowski’s twenty- fi rst- century socialist feminism is postnational.
