评分最终还是没有读完,或许这就是战争,对普通人而言留下的是无尽的伤害,另一个视角来看这段已经边缘化的历史,普通人面对战争竟是这般无力。在这里,死亡不再是一个统计数字,而是一个又一个悲剧。从史景迁到梅尔清,美汉学真的很爱太平天国啊。
评分重点关注太平天国时期关于伤害、损失、避祸、遁逃、标记敌我等灾难中文化意义的现象以及政治化的过程,介于文类研究和社会文化史之间。这本书大概也只有在近一两年的国内环境之下才能体味到那种微妙的意味:在大难来临之前、之中,秩序、经验乃至理性都已不足以作为因应的依据,这时候的文化史就成了恐慌之中的呓语;而到大难之后,人们又会摭拾记忆,在政治化语境里编织为脱离情感叙事,形成历史。也许书里表述出来的历史事实,在宏大叙事里是微不足道的,也不能说是什么“历史的主流”,但惟是这令人惊惧的一角,词不达意地低喃出了束手无策、无可奈何与无能为力。喜欢刺字的一节。
评分写得很好,用起来很累,因为相关的analysis都埋在叙述下面了。

The Taiping Rebellion was one of the costliest civil wars in human history. Tens of millions of people lost their lives, as Chinese rebels, imperial armies, and local militias clashed across the Yangzi Delta. Yet while the Rebellion has been intensely studied, we still know little of how individuals coped with these cataclysmic events.
Drawing upon a rich array of primary sources, What Remains explores the issues that preoccupied Chinese and Western survivors. Individuals, families, and communities grappled with fundamental questions of loyalty and loss as they struggled to rebuild shattered cities, bury the dead, and make sense of the horrors that they had witnessed.
Driven by compelling accounts of raw emotion and deep injury, What Remains opens a window to a world described by survivors themselves. By making a place for individual pain, moral and political confusion, religiosity, and emotions, this book transforms our understanding of China's 19th century and re-contextualizes suffering and loss in China during the 20th century.
