Self as Method: Thinking Through China and the World Xiang Biao
Despite China's rise to the status of global power, many Chinese youths are anxious about their personal future, in large measure because the rapid changes have left them feeling adrift. Consisting of three conversations between Xiang Biao, a social anthropologist, and Wu Qi, a rising journalist, the book probes how China has reached its current stage and how young people can make changes. This book, available in open access, provides a manifesto of intellectual activism that counsels China's young people to think by themselves and for themselves.
The Chinese version was named the "most impactful book of 2021" by Douban, China's premier website for rating books, films, and music. The conversations touch on issues of mobility, education, family, relations between the self and the authority, centers and margins, China, and the world. The English version is translated by David
