Shao-hua Liu is an Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Her research interests include medical anthropology, globalization, modernity, gender, and rural health and medicine in contemporary China. This is her first book.
Passage to Manhood addresses the intersection of modernity, heroin use, and HIV/AIDS as they are embodied in a new rite-of-passage among young men in the Sichuan province of southwestern China. Through a nuanced analysis of the Nuosu population, this book seeks to answer why the Nuosu has a disproportionately large number of opiate users and HIV positive individuals relative to others in Sichuan. By focusing on the experiences of Nuosu migrants and drug users, it shows how multiple modernities, individual yearnings, and societal resilience have become entwined in the Nuosu's calamitous encounter with the Chinese state and, after long suppression, their efforts at cultural reconstruction.
This ethnography pits the Nuosu youths' adventures, as part of their passage to manhood, against the drastic social changes in their community and, more broadly, China over the last half century. It offers fascinating material for courses on migration, globalization, youth culture, public health, and development at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

評分看到一些有趣的事实: 1. 驱使诺苏人去远方的动力是“出去耍”。即便对外界一无所知,第一次搭车外出怕得连夜跑回家,也要出去耍。即便遇上危险,被殴打,进监狱,也要出去耍。即便触犯原则,要偷窃、要贩毒,也要出去耍。出去耍,一是为了乐趣和好奇心,二是为了成就自我获...
評分作者在书中坚持拒绝使用他称“彝族”,以凉山人自称“诺苏”来称呼研究对象,试图坚持彝族的主体性,这个问题不大;但是书名挂了大招牌说“我的凉山兄弟”,却对凉山彝族社会的历史文化只有浮光掠影的标签化认识;拒谈凉山彝族在民国大举扩张,掳掠数十万汉人为奴的历史。 身为...
