sinology in post-communist states：views from the czech republic, mongolia, poland, and russia

　　Becoming a sinologist means deconstructing stereotypical notions of China’s rise in the twenty-first century. The sinologists in this volume actively think through and adapt to their particular historical contexts as they conduct their research. Positioned across various locations such as the Czech Republic, Mongolia, Poland, and Russia, these scholars use diverse approaches to map China’s modern evolution. Through the rediscovery of post-Communist sinology, the conclusions in this volume have major implications for the evolution of intellectual history and its analysis by emphasizing the importance of individualized agency to the practice of sinology.
