Daniel Leese is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Chinese Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. He is the editor of Brill's Encyclopedia of China (2008).
Mao Zedong's political and cultural legacy remains potent even in today's China. There have been many books that have explored his posthumous legacy, but none that has scrutinized the cult of Mao and the massive worship that was fostered around him at the height of his powers during the Cultural Revolution. This riveting book is the first to do so. By analyzing previously secret archival documents, obscure objects, and political pamphlets, Daniel Leese traces the tumultuous history of the cult within the Communist Party and at the grassroots level. The Party leadership's original intention was to develop a prominent brand symbol, which would compete with the nationalists' elevation of Chiang Kai-shek. They did not, however, anticipate that Mao would use this symbolic power to mobilize Chinese youth to rebel against party bureaucracy itself. The result was anarchy, and when the army was called in, it relied on mandatory rituals of worship, such as daily reading of the Little Red Book or performances of 'the loyalty dance', to restore order. Such fascinating detail sheds light not only on the personality cult of Mao, but also on hero-worship in other traditions.

读的港中文版,wg题材暂时告于段落,读腻了
评分为了自己原来感兴趣的问题看了这本书,不过并没有找到特别多想要的资料内容。作者对于档案运用还是很扎实的,现实关怀也很值得肯定。至于所谓的“卡里斯玛”,就算头????都可以具备,只要方式得当。
评分理论的阐述实在没有水平理解,但说到红宝书,忠字舞,“早请示晚汇报”这些还是多少有些感性认识的。个人崇拜,用现在的话来说就是建立一个“人设”,而领袖的人设牢固与否则同外部资讯的冲击产生直接对抗,从这一点借古喻今,很能理解我们现在活在怎样一个时代之下了。
评分#港中大译本#中文版序的吸引力可能比全书的章节还大,作者对材料的消化始终有限,论述起来总觉得不够厚实充沛,读过高华先生的书才懂得那种畅快淋漓的感觉。不过我要声明,理论不新不是本书的缺点。
