Building for Oil is a historical account of the development of the oil town of Daqing in northeastern China during the formative years of the People’s Republic, describing Daqing’s rise and fall as a national model city. Daqing oil field was the most profitable state-owned enterprise and the single largest source of state revenue for almost three decades, from the 1950s through the early 1980s. The book traces the roots and maturation of the Chinese socialist state and its early industrialization and modernization policies during a time of unprecedented economic growth.

The metamorphosis of Daqing’s physical landscape in many ways exemplified the major challenges and changes taking place in Chinese state and society. Through detailed, often personal descriptions of the process of planning and building Daqing, the book illuminates the politics between party leaders and elite ministerial cadres and examines the diverse interests, conflicts, tensions, functions, and dysfunctions of state institutions and individuals. Building for Oil records the rise of the “Petroleum Group” in the central government while simultaneously revealing the everyday stories and struggles of the working men and women who inhabited China’s industrializing landscape—their beliefs, frustrations, and pursuit of a decent life.

用户评价

大庆油田作为一个成功的“工业”模式为后面毛的一系列工业政策提供了大方向的思路，对三线工业建设的影响尤为深远。这本书里提到的‘干打垒’算是解了我的心头疑惑。作为一种建筑模式是很值得深挖的（尤其是知识分子-农民/生产-生活这两条线在这种建筑模式中是体现的淋漓尽致）。 作者在论述的时候，是个人和国家两条线同时进行（口述史？）。这种好处是克服了”个人与集体“关系在其以往类似题材中论述不平衡的弊端，并且弥补了以男性为主的建国初期国家建设的叙述角度（女性角色的刻画是到位的）。但是这种表达方式让我在读的时候无法把握作者的论点。其实故事是为大部分人所知的，如果仅仅只是以此来论述中国建国初期对于工业城市的政治想象和集体实践又过于单薄。但总体是很有启发性的。不得不说作者的民族志写作功力是令人佩服的。
