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.
評分曆史中的人 都盡瞭自己的努力去做齣自認為正確的選擇
評分這書的評分偏低瞭吧……就憑大量的英國方麵的資料就值高分瞭,更彆說對許多研究潮流的展現瞭(比如生活史,內亞視角等等)
評分左,condescendent,缺乏曆史研究深度。
評分不知道怎麼打分好….
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.

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...
評分引发鸦片战争的表象是中英贸易的失衡,实质是两种社会制度的较量,根源是东西方文化甚至文明的对冲。作为中国近代史的开端,鸦片战争的意义影响至今,对国人来讲,既满怀对西方殖民主义的愤恨,也饱含对西方文明进步的憧憬,更怀揣中华复兴之伟愿。坊间于这部书褒贬鲜明,且贬...
評分这是一部有点错位的书。蓝诗玲,这名字也太好听了吧,中国姑娘都鲜有起这么梦幻名字的,结果却是一位外国作家。同样的,开始以为是来看一看外国人、英国人是如何看待鸦片战争的,结果发现,这恰恰是一本给英国人看的,解释中国人是怎么看鸦片战争的书。所以我本来想看到的,恰...
評分大背景,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。”...
評分英国人能写出这样的作品,值得点赞。 可以和茅海建的那本《天朝的崩溃:鸦片战争再研究》对照着看。 两本书各有优缺点。这本书对那本书有不少的引用。这本书的作者是英国人,对英文资料的引用当然更驾轻就熟。而茅的那本对中文资料的引用就更加丰富了,尤其是对一些极其冷门的...
