First and foremost we would like to thank those who have helped us with the translations in this volume. We are very grateful to Elizabeth A. Cole, Stephen S. Chou, and Zhou Yiyun, who produced excellent draft translations for a majority of the texts in the Reader, This project could not have been completed without their considerable efforts. Special thanks are also due Joan Judge, who suggested and translated the essay by Ma Weilong, and Timothy B. Weston, who suggested and translated the selection from Zhang Shizhao. Tim in turn would like to thank Shen Zhijia and Jia Jinhua for their help with his translation. The editors are responsible for the final state of all translations and for any mistakes that remain.
During this work we have also been helped and encouraged by many other people. Students in various incarnations of the class Human Rights and Chinese Philosophy at Wesleyan University were the initial impetus for a translation project, and we thank them for their comments on the drafts they used. For encouragement and comments on other aspects of the Reader, we would like to thank Chine Chan, Ron-guey Chu, Andrew Nathan, James Seymour, Sophia Woodman, and Peter Zarrow. We are also grateful to Mab Huang and Peter Huang for suggestions and help with texts from Taiwan, to James Whitman for helping us identify a number of German legal scholars, and to Keiko Kockum for help with transcribing the names of Japanese scholars. We would also like to thank Zhu Xiaomiao and Li Jian for assistance with obscure passages in some of the texts.
Some of the texts first appeared in a special issue of Contemporary Chinese Thought for which we acted as guest editors, and we are very grateful to Carine Defoort and Nicolas Standaert for giving us that opportunity, as well as for cheering on the book project. For useful ideas on how to pull off a work like this, we want to thank Michael Schoenhals.
Our thanks, finally, to Doug Merwin and the staff at M.E. Sharpe for working with us to bring this project to completion.
The past decade has seen a vigorous discussion of human rights both within China and between China and other nations. It is easy to think of China as a latecomer to human rights discourse, in part because during most of the post-1949 period, rights and human rights were taboo subjects in the Peoples Republic. In fact, however, over the last one hundred and more years China has had a rich and contested discourse about rights. By translating essays on rights and human rights from throughout the twentieth century, we aim to reintroduce themes from this forgotten discourse into contemporary debates. These essays show that the discussion of rights in China has long been motivated by indigenous concerns, rather than imposed from without, and it has been interpretive and critical, rather than passive and imitative. This introduction aims to situate the essays we have translated by discussing the terms of the discourse and then briefly sketching its history.
