具体描述
Behind the Silence is the first in-depth work in any language to explore the diverse perspectives of mainland Chinese regarding induced abortion and fetal life in the context of the world's most ambitious and intrusive family planning program. Bringing to light the range of Chinese views and experiences, Nie Jing-Bao draws on extensive primary sources and intensive fieldwork, including surveys by and interviews with hundreds of rural, urban, and overseas Chinese. Nie's exploration of the multi-layered meanings of public silence, official pronouncements, forgotten controversies from the Imperial era, public and private consensus and disagreement, women's personal stories, and doctors' narratives provides compelling evidence on the remarkably varied, sometimes critical, and often tormented voices of the Chinese people. Revealing a surprising range of beliefs and feelings concerning the morality of abortion and fetal life, the book nevertheless finds widespread acceptance of national population policies. It also examines the personal anguish and complex socio-cultural and ethical issues entwined with coerced abortion essential to enforce birth-control policies. In addition, the author argues, the abortion issue illustrates the importance of taking seriously China's internal plurality if Westerners and Chinese are to develop a fruitful cross-cultural dialogue.
作者简介
Behind the Silence is the first in-depth work in any language to explore the diverse perspectives of mainland Chinese regarding induced abortion and fetal life in the context of the world's most ambitious and intrusive family planning program. Through his investigation of public silence, official standpoints, forgotten controversies from the imperial era, popular opinions, women's personal stories, doctors' narratives, and the problem of coerced abortion, Nie Jing-Bao brings to light a surprising range of beliefs concerning fetal life and the morality of abortion, yet finds overall an acceptance of national population policies. China's internal plurality, the author argues, must be taken seriously if the West is to open a fruitful cross-cultural dialogue. Visit our website for sample chapters!

读后感
写书评的两位兄台都显得太过激动了些。不错，这里头的确有些地方扯得太远，更有些地方就是误读——我都在猜想作者有多少年没在中国呆过了。不过转念一想，这书05年出，调查是90年代做的，我当时还是一个呆在海边小城市只知道数学物理化学很有趣的小熊孩，缺少去了解社会方方面...
评分严重同意攻玉之石的观点！ 俺读的时候也觉得，此书作者的观察角度，对中国历史与现状的理解都有很大问题——特别是关于“万贵妃”和明廷宽容流产一段，简直连基本常识都欠缺。滑稽的是，还说自己做田野调查，明明是先立论、后找证据的自说自话——而且还没说圆。 俺绝对不想说...
