Product Description
- Julian Ward, Times Higher Education, 08/05/08
"The authors present a nuanced picture of state-imposed execution and, without at any
time condoning, succeed in their goal of contextualising lingchi in relation to Western
forms of punishment [...] This challenging and important work will appeal not solely
to Sinologists, but to legal historians and students of visual representation."
Review
"This elegant and innovatively transnational book is intent on restoring lingchi to the legal, moral and political context in which it made some kind of sense".
