Pamela Kyle Crossley is Rosenwald Research Professor of History, Dartmouth College; author of Orphan Warriors: Three Manchu Generations and the End of the Qing World (1990) and The Manchus (1997); and coauthor (with Richard Bulliet and Dan Headrick) of The Earth and Its Peoples (1997).
In this landmark exploration of the origins of nationalism and cultural identity in China, Pamela Kyle Crossley traces the ways in which a large, early modern empire of Eurasia, the Qing (1636-1912), incorporated neighboring, but disparate, political traditions into a new style of emperorship. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, including Manchu, Korean, and Chinese archival materials, Crossley argues that distortions introduced in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century historical records have blinded scholars to the actual course of events in the early years of the dynasty. This groundbreaking study examines the relationship between the increasingly abstract ideology of the centralizing emperorship of the Qing and the establishment of concepts of identity in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, before the advent of nationalism in China. Concluding with a broad-ranging postscript on the implications of her research for studies of nationalism and nation-building throughout modern Chinese history, A Translucent Mirror combines a readable narrative with a sophisticated, revisionary look at China's history. Crossley's book will alter current understandings of the Qing emperorship, the evolution of concepts of ethnicity, and the legacy of Qing rule for modern Chinese nationalism.

might be a "landmark" in terms of her perspective and concentrations, but not in terms of a good contribution on methods and argument. A smart and accurate capture of many things, though, the power rarely lies in her explanation and evaluation of evidences. it is a fruit out of the breakthrough of literary theories, i would say.
評分introduction,第四章
評分有一些敏銳的論點,可是書寫的實在頗為彆扭....
評分剛讀完,有一個大緻的印象,糊裏糊塗的,再整理一下思路
評分主要說瞭兩部分,一是從Nurgaci到Hung taiji到乾隆的rulership和統治範型適應徵服和統治底種種需要而發生轉變,(作者堅持帝國意識形態關係從emperorship之內的範疇得到理解)。二是幾種典型的民族身份正是18世紀底意識形態産物,産生於皇權建構及與之對應的行政管理對族群身份的塑造和操縱。這也成瞭19世紀末民族主義活動傢底思想源頭以及對他們行動的限定。 有洞見,但論述失之薄弱,淺嘗輒止。
