Radicalism, Revolution, and Reform in Modern China
Douban
Catherine Lynch / Robert B. Marks … publishing house: Lexington Books 2011 - 3
This volume illuminates the relationship of China's radical past to its reformist present as China makes a way forward through very differently conceived and contested visions of the future. In the context of early twenty-first century problems and the failures of global capitalism, is China's history of revolutionary socialism an aberration that is soon to be forgotten, or can it serve as a resource for creating a more fully human and radically democratic China with implications for all of us? Ranging from the early years of China's revolutionary twentieth-century to the present, the essays collected here look at the past and present of China with a view toward better understanding the ideas, ideals, and people who have dared to imagine radical transformation of their worlds and to assess the conceptual, political, and social limitations of these visions and their implementations.

中華人民共和國建國初期,是一個既充滿了希望與熱情、又充斥着恐懼與疑慮的階段,與其後政治運動接踵而來的時段相比,共和國的最初幾年,又是一個容易為人忽視的時期。這本論文集關注的焦點,正是1949–1953 年新政權這段早期的歷史。全書共分四個部分:第一部分“城市接管”,關注新政權對城市的接管過程與策略;第二部分“佔領外圍”,討論中共對西藏、新疆、大連等地的佔領過程;第三部分“適應環境變遷的文化”,探討文化工作者對新政權的反應與調適;第四部分“家族策略”,觀察幾個家族在新政權的命運變遷。 以往的研究主要關注共產黨的政策是怎樣被制定和執行的,而本書則主要關注這些政策是怎樣為人們所感受的。不同於其他研究精英政治和決策過程的著作,本書更加關注不同背景的人在與政權互動的過程中發生了什麼,關注新政權的建立怎樣影響和改變了普通人的工作與生活,這些人包括工廠主、電影工作者、少數民族群體、相聲演員、接生婆、人類學家……本文集的作者既有魏斐德、斐宜理、周錫瑞、畢克偉、陳兼等中國研究領域內的知名學者,也有周傑榮和何凱思這樣的學術新秀。他們出色的論文展現了建國史異乎尋常的多樣性與複雜性。
