The Missionary’s Curse tells the story of a Chinese village that has been Catholic since the seventeenth century, drawing direct connections between its history, the globalizing church, and the nation. Harrison recounts the popular folk tales of merchants and peasants who once adopted Catholic rituals and teachings for their own purposes, only to find themselves in conflict with the orthodoxy of Franciscan missionaries arriving from Italy. The village’s long religious history, combined with the similarities between Chinese folk religion and Italian Catholicism, forces us to rethink the extreme violence committed in the area during the Boxer Uprising. The author also follows nineteenth century Chinese priests who campaigned against missionary control, up through the founding of the official church by the Communist Party in the 1950s. Harrison’s in-depth study provides a rare insight into villager experiences during the Socialist Education Movement and Cultural Revolution, as well as the growth of Christianity in China in recent years. She makes the compelling argument that Catholic practice in the village, rather than adopting Chinese forms in a gradual process of acculturation, has in fact become increasingly similar to those of Catholics in other parts of the world.

“Through a brilliant analysis of Catholicism in one remote village, Harrison leads us to rethink much of the last three centuries of China’s history. Her series of beautifully written narratives challenges not just our usual understanding of Christianity’s reception, but the entire way we think about how local places fit into national and global networks of culture and trade.” —Robert P. Weller, co-author of Rethinking Pluralism: Ritual, Experience and Ambiguity

“This is one of the most fascinating books on Christianity in China that I have ever read. By following the history of one Catholic village over more than three hundred years, Henrietta Harrison convincingly shows how Chinese Christians sought authenticity as members of a transnational and global community.” —Nicolas Standaert, author of The Interweaving of Rituals

"Harrison has written an ethnographic history that will be a model for future researchers. She has linked archival research (in the Vatican's vast collections) with on-the-spot investigations of villages in north China. None of this work is easy, but the results are spectacularly successful. This is a must read for anyone interested in Chinese social history." —James L. Watson, Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society and Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, Harvard University

帶路黨人與境內外各種勢力勾結反復的三百年血淚心酸史。。。

角度非常大氣,將天主教村莊的研究置於世界宗教格局之中。用村莊流傳的故事(tales)串聯民族誌與檔案研究,很有意思,寫作也很好。(而且她長得有點像我室友.......)

考研期間讀完,語言一如既往優美。本書聚焦山西中部三百年的天主教傳教史,通過七個故事的敘述,從建村傳說起,經過清中葉禁教、晚清開禁、義和團、民國發展、六十年代整肅,至八十年代的教會復興,重構一個村莊在不同曆史階段傳教士與地方社會的互動與衝突,分析瞭八十年後的信徒增長現象,構想中國教會未來發展可能。作者論述突齣傳教過程中基督教、儒教傳統與民間信仰之間的重疊關係;在政教矛盾、中西衝突之外,強調國際環境對在華傳教士和本土教職人員的影響,以及本地化之外,地方教會融入全球教會的努力。教會內外的張力外,作者細化瞭教會內部的鬥爭,精英與世俗信徒,外來與本土教職的不同訴求。通過曆史書寫的不同模式,作者將曆史的話語從國傢與教會的宏觀層麵轉移到基層村莊,並對細節進行還原,體現齣敘述視角與立場切換下的矛盾與認同。
