This book sheds new light on state-society relations in contemporary China by demonstrating how rigid official boundaries internal to the state system, which were essential for the state's control over society, have paradoxically facilitated the growth of new social spaces. Based on long years of fieldwork, the book takes us to a highly unlikely site in Beijing - Zhejiangcun (literally 'Zhejiang village'), the biggest migrant community in China, located only five kilometres south of Tian'anmen Square -- where 100,000 migrants, mostly from Wenzhou, have organised a vibrant garment industry despite regular state crackdowns. It documents the spontaneous evolution of Zhejiangcun into a hub of nationwide migrant business networks transcending officially imposed boundaries. The book also makes use of Chinese folk insights and philosophical traditions as analytical tools for tackling fluid social relationships unconfined to physical space.

1,温州人真是了不起,当年看<三峡好人>就有感悟,农民进城对待阻挠歧视挑衅种种,有自己的应付办法,无非是忍着,以软对硬,而且不容易在心里生下仇恨的种子, 不像读过几本书的人,心高气傲,阶级感强. 温州人的了不起就是能以超强的忍耐力适应社会环境,又以超旺盛的生命力打开一片天...
评分读书笔记最好还是刚读完时写,拖个一天,竟不知从何下笔。双节假期一半时间用来啃这本,好像回到上学时,可以跳出自己的小圈子,通过读书激发出对他者问题的思考,贪恋这种感觉。 社会学可真是包罗万象,开餐馆的、做衣服的、当保姆的,甚至毒品、监狱等等等等都可以成为研究...
评分最开始知道作者,是因为其是“十三邀”其中一期的嘉宾,被其访谈中的诸多简介给惊艳到了,其次在其脸上看到了羡慕已久的笑容,那是一种自信不在意、率直的笑容,加之过于随意的穿着,就是那种少年有为却无需被社会所蹂躏,在自身世界中自处的所经历起来的一种状态。 好奇这样一...
因为要写书评的缘故把英文版的也看了一下。在中文修订版序一中项飙就提及在准备英译本时,刚刚被西方的学术规范全面震撼,因此删了原版的三分之一,把大量那时候他认为不符合学术规范的细节抛去。幸而,他后来 “放下了一些理论的焦虑,蓄起了一点历史视角”, 重新体会到细节的重要性,在修订的中文版又把大量细节 “抢救”回来。比起中文版,大量充满温情的细节的缺失确实使得英译本少了些许动人之处。
评分之前中文版扫了一遍,现在为了写论文,英文版要再扫一遍,不过难免选择性阅读,论文要紧。。。
评分中文版好看太多太多 英文纯学术
评分新版的序令人感动。[正規化的糾結:北京「浙江村」 和中國社會二十年來的變化]
