This innovative work is the first to approach the awakening of China as a historical problem in its own right, and to locate this problem within the broader history of the rise of modern China. It analyzes the link between the awakening of China as a historical narrative and the awakening of the Chinese people as a political technique for building a sovereign and independent state. In sum, it asks what we mean when we say that China "woke up" in this century. Fiction and fashion, architecture and autobiography, take their places alongside politics and history, and the reader is asked to move about among writers, philosophers, ethnographers, revolutionaries, and soldiers who would seem to have little in common. Rumor is sometimes taken as seriously as truth, novels are consulted as frequently as documents, and dreams are given a prominence normally reserved for facts in the writing of history. This book follows the legend of China's awakening from its origins in the European imagination, to its transmission to China and its encounter with a lyrical Chinese tradition of ethical awakening, to its incorporation and mobilization in a mass movement designed to wake up everyone. The idea of a national awakening crossed all discursive boundaries to make room for nationalist politics in personal culture and helped to conscript personal culture into service of the revolutionary state. The book focuses on the Nationalist movement in south China, highlighting the role of Sun Yat-sen as director of awakenings in the Nationalist Revolution and the place of Mao Zedong as his successor in the politics of mass awakening. Of special interest is the previously untold story of Mao's role in the NationalistPropaganda Bureau, showing Mao as a master of propaganda and discipline, rather than as peasant movement activist.

用户评价

单章来说颇有精彩分析，但整本书似乎前后分裂。前半部是依赖思想和文学人物的民族主义思想文化史，后半部则更多是国民党早期的机构史，着重考察国民革命如何逐渐发展到群众政治和一党专制的路线，而民族主义思想退至幕后。

a rich hsitory about the early Nationalist Party.

聪明。智商高。问题和视域极好。粗看不过是过了一遍历史，仔细玩味之下书名章节标题p.3-4研究路径和范围的划定精当而丰厚。理论功底和文本阅读能力相当不错，对于不同时期里不同话语的转译争夺断裂和延续以及暗含的各种张力极其敏锐。分析和洞见稠密但不会过度。值得仔细读下来。

多年后回顾，依旧不失为一本让我脑洞大开的好书，主要分析了国民党在建党前后以建构其党的合法性的一系列举措。
