James L. Hevia is Chair of the Curriculum in International and Area Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. His book Cherishing Men from Afar: Qing Guest Ritual and the Macartney Embassy of 1793 (published by Duke University Press) won the Joseph Levenson Prize from the Association for Asian Studies.
Inserting China into the history of nineteenth-century colonialism, English Lessons explores the ways that Euroamerican imperial powers humiliated the Qing monarchy and disciplined the Qing polity in the wake of multi-power invasions of China in 1860 and 1900. Focusing on the processes by which Great Britain enacted a pedagogical project that was itself a form of colonization, James L. Hevia demonstrates how British actors instructed the Manchu-Chinese elite on "proper" behavior in a world dominated by multiple imperial powers. Their aim was to "bring China low" and make it a willing participant in British strategic goals in Asia. These lessons not only transformed the Qing dynasty, but ultimately contributed to its destruction.
Hevia analyzes British Foreign Office documents, diplomatic memoirs, auction house and museum records, nineteenth-century scholarly analyses of Chinese history and culture, campaign records, and photographs. He shows how Britain refigured its imperial project in China as a cultural endeavor by investigating the circulation of military loot in Europe, the creation of an art history of "things Chinese," the construction of a field of knowledge about China, and the Great Game rivalry between Britain, Russia, and Qing empire in Central Asia. Each of these elements not only influenced the colonial project, but also had a significant impact on creating a national consciousness in China.

评分这本书初读之时,确实令人感觉观点独到,方法新颖。但最近又翻了翻,逐渐意识到问题其实很大。本书虽然引用了很多的史料,尤其是西方人的报道,回忆录,外交文件等,但是所下的结论,很多是源自作者自己想当然的理解,并非根据资料的严格的批判分析得来的,尤其是对一些仪式与...

To the West, China was now the sickman of Asia by James Hevia
评分duh
评分看过中文版再看一遍英文版
评分Not that impressed, the relative absence of Chinese-language sources and some of the more grandiose claims made on ceremonies are both rather problematic. It's less Chinese history rather than global/imperial history, and somewhat far-fetched at that.
评分This book is more important than people have realized, and few notice that it interrelates with The Great Divergence.
