Margaret Mih Tillman is assistant professor of history at Purdue University.
A widespread conviction in the need to rescue China’s children took hold in the early twentieth century. Amid political upheaval and natural disasters, neglected or abandoned children became a humanitarian focal point for Sino-Western cooperation and, ultimately, intervention in family life. Chinese academics and officials sought new scientific measures, educational institutions, and social reforms to improve children’s welfare. Successive regimes encouraged teachers to shape children into Qing subjects, Nationalist citizens, or Communist comrades.
In Raising China’s Revolutionaries, Margaret Mih Tillman offers a novel perspective on the political and scientific dimensions of experiments with early childhood education from the early Republican period through the first decade of the People’s Republic. She traces transnational advocacy for child welfare and education, examining Christian missionaries, philanthropists, and the role of international relief during World War II. Tillman provides in-depth analysis of similarities and differences between Nationalist and Communist policy and cultural notions of childhood. While both drew on preschool institutions to mobilize the workforce and shape children’s political subjectivity, the PRC rejected the Nationalists’ commitment to the modern, bourgeois family. With new insights into the roles of experts, the cultural politics of fundraising, and child welfare as a form of international exchange, Raising China’s Revolutionaries is an important work of institutional and transnational history that illuminates the evolution of modern concepts of childhood in China.

评分全书史料丰富,但串联的问题意识不够突出。最出彩的算国民党的部分,也是作者博论的重头戏。两个启发点,1)儿童养育中专家与政治、西方与中国、物质与主体性两股对立势力的博弈,同时这一博弈表现了国共的分歧 2)国共的相通处在于将儿童养育置于国家监管的范畴,服务于国家现代化的目标。作为系统研究近现代中国儿童史的英文专著,作者做了很多突破性的工作,值得推荐。
