Rebecca Nedostup is Associate Professor of History at Boston College.
We live in a world shaped by secularism - the separation of numinous power from political authority and religion from the political, social, and economic realms of public life. Not only has progress toward modernity often been equated with secularization, but when religion is admitted into modernity, it has been distinguished from superstition. That such ideas are continually contested does not undercut their extraordinary influence. These divisions underpin this investigation of the role of religion in the construction of modernity and political power during the Nanjing Decade (1927-1937) of Nationalist rule in China. This book explores the modern recategorization of religious practices and people and examines how state power affected the religious lives and physical order of local communities. It also looks at how politicians conceived of their own ritual role in an era when authority was meant to derive from popular sovereignty. The claims of secular nationalism and mobilizational politics prompted the Nationalists to conceive of the world of religious association as a dangerous realm of 'superstition' that would destroy the nation. This is the first 'superstitious regime' of the book's title. It also convinced them that national feeling and faith in the party-state would replace those ties - the second 'superstitious regime'.

2010年代最好的中国近代史著作
评分国民党南京政府的反迷信运动,国家管理/冲击下塑造的宗教
评分看不懂,也看不进去。搜两个书评谷歌翻译下,领会下核心思想。就这么着吧。
评分读得太累了。作者太炫耀英文词汇量了,频繁使用高端罕见词汇。但其实遣词造句和行文章法并不是太精湛,读起来不畅快。至于学术价值,那就不用说了。十年磨一剑,档案功夫十分了得。赞!
评分非常喜欢的一本书,理解当代中国人民思想的第一课。
