Hi everyone,
I just read a recently published PRC history article in a journal that was not on my radar screen--in case you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend this piece:
J. M. Chris Chang, “Paper Affairs: Discipline by the Dossier in a Mao-Era Work Unit,” Administory 4, no. 1 (2019): 125–40.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Brown
