Di Wang is Professor of History at the University of Macau. He is the author of The Teahouse: Small Business, Everyday Culture, and Public Politics in Chengdu, 1900–1950 (Stanford, 2008).
In 1939, residents of a rural village near Chengdu watched as Lei Mingyuan, a member of a violent secret society known as the Gowned Brothers, executed his teenage daughter. Six years later, Shen Baoyuan, a sociology student at Yenching University, arrived in the town to conduct fieldwork on the society that once held sway over local matters. She got to know Lei Mingyuan and his family, recording many rare insights about the murder and the Gowned Brothers' inner workings.
Using the filicide as a starting point to examine the history, culture, and organization of the Gowned Brothers, Di Wang offers nuanced insights into the structures of local power in 1940s rural Sichuan. Moreover, he examines the influence of Western sociology and anthropology on the way intellectuals in the Republic of China perceived rural communities. By studying the complex relationship between the Gowned Brothers and the Chinese Communist Party, he offers a unique perspective on China's transition to socialism. In so doing, Wang persuasively connects a family in a rural community, with little overt influence on national destiny, to the movements and ideologies that helped shape contemporary China.

评分连续读完《叫魂》和《袍哥》就会非常清楚为什么越来越多历史学本科生喜欢拿新文化史做个国创项目了,作者以新文化史自居,拿孔飞力自比。暂且不说新文化史在史学理论层面上的讨论,作者根本没有写到孔飞力的深度。在我之前有友邻评论说这是个读书报告,实在是“知人论事体”叫...
评分知道王笛是通过一个历史系的朋友,而对这本书的了解是通过一位文学作家。 王笛写《袍哥》是以燕京大学沈宝媛的本科毕业论文为载体和主线的,贯穿了雷明远作为袍哥之一的兴起、鼎盛以及衰落的境况。哥老会不是一个简单的组织,而是作为一个社会团体存在,并对当地的政权、秩序以...

评分Microhistory的尝试。不过内容实在是写得太过单薄了。致命的是,全书并无一个有效的问题意识在支撑。
