A new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases (colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda) and cases of lesser violence (early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia). Murderous cleansing is modern, 'the dark side of democracy'. It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethno-national movements each claims 'its own' state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights because of aid from outside, or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. Escalation is not simply the work of 'evil elites' or 'primitive peoples'. It results from complex interactions between leaders, militants, and 'core constituencies' of ethno-nationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.

本书第11章被理所应当地作了部分删节。对于肉食者罔顾学术自由的任何严厉的指谪可以说都是毫不为过的,然而残酷的现实并不靠吾辈在网上敲击键盘就能够被“骂”好的。所以还是想着利用网络做些更实际的工作,所以开始补译第11章的中国一节,并重译导论。但无法在此站直接公开发...
评分先谈本书立意。 海登·怀特(1928-)在自己集二十世纪史学大成的名著《元史学》中(1973),通过对19世纪历史意识的研究,得出如下结论: A.历史既是正统历史学,同时必定是历史哲学; B.史学的可能模式与思辨历史哲学的可能模式相同; C.这些模式实际上分析起来又是先于...
评分这本书的翻译是中国出版界的耻辱!糟糕透顶的翻译把如此精彩的历史书籍彻底毁了,整本书虽然是中文的,但语法结构就是英文的,简直不会说中国话。比如这名话,148页的,“对亚美尼亚可能不是忠诚公民的怀疑在一些人感染上了席卷欧洲的民族主义流毒之时似乎得到了证实”,这句的...
评分此书的最核心论点可以被概括为:在民族冲突激烈的地区,民主是危险的,因为在这些地区,民主更可能被种族主义 / 民族主义绑架。二十世纪的种族灭绝是现代特征,古代史上从未有过。古代史上当然有很多死亡率高于二十世纪的大屠杀,作者认为蓄意的、以灭绝整个民族人口为目标的大...
评分民主有没有阴暗面?肯定有。所以,这本书的作者在某种意义上肯定说出了部分真相。民主操作不当,或者不够成熟的时候,阴暗面就会很大。同样,某种“失败的民主”也可能会扩大这种危害性。 同样,性生活有没有危害性?肯定也有。比如,过度的性生活会导致腰酸膝软,影响身体健...
