真是不知道為啥豆瓣上評分這麼高。。。
評分發現kindle裏還存著這本,對曆史不同的詮釋。想想雖然現身處“和平年代”,19世紀鴉片戰爭、20世紀的二戰及文革,都對現在的中國意識文化形態産生瞭極大的影響,隻是我們樂得不自知。
評分so called truth
評分written with such sneering cynicism
評分Another good discussion yesterday. Mostly on nationalism (and the education thereof) and cultural history. News come into attention the next day morning, of drug smuggling in Mexico, S. Korea's urge of Japanese compensation for comfort women, and the lowered US flag in Iraq. Main takeaway: the inventiveness of the late 200 yr Chinese history.
Julia Lovell has worked at Birkbeck since 2007. Before then, she was Junior Research Fellow at Queens’ College, Cambridge. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; she also studied for a year at the Hopkins-Nanjing Centre for Chinese Studies. She has translated many works, as well as writing insightful works into the history of China.
She has written articles in the Guardian, the London Times and the Economist on China.
‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

大背景,南美独立运动令全球白银供应紧张。“1810年代和1820年代的拉丁美洲独立运动,导致全世界白银产量减少了56.6%。首先,他使得英国用于购买中国茶叶和生丝的白银量减少。其次,英国商人不得不越来越多的求助于鸦片,而不是供不应求的白银,换取他们要购买的茶叶和生丝。”...
評分 評分对比中才知何为好书,好研究。 一部远低于期待值的鸦片战争史。 作者作为英国人视角,能够做出较为客观陈述已经较为难得,但是本书中对于,鸦片不应为白银外流负责任,英国政府的对外决策其实是由当地官员决定等内容论述都感觉不够充分,给人欲辩解而还休的感觉。 比较有价...
評分 評分作为对鸦片战争细节的了解,还是不错的一本书,承继了西方学者对于历史的描述写法,文章的可读性较强,而这正是中国学者较为缺乏的。看外国人写中国历史,更有味,更能进入,或者说界面更友好。 全文较多引用了茅海建的书,所以更想看看茅海建的书。 天下大势,浩浩汤汤,顺之...
