In clear and compelling prose, Judith Shapiro relates the great, untold story of the devastating impact of Chinese politics on China's environment during the Mao years. Maoist China provides an example of extreme human interference in the natural world in an era in which human relationships were also unusually distorted. Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of "harmony between heaven and humans" was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that "Man Must Conquer Nature." Mao and the Chinese Communist Party's "war" to bend the physical world to human will often had disastrous consequences both for human beings and the natural environment. Mao's War Against Nature argues that the abuse of people and the abuse of nature are often linked. Shapiro's account, told in part through the voices of average Chinese citizens and officials who lived through and participated in some of the destructive campaigns, is both eye-opening and heartbreaking. Judith Shapiro teaches environmental politics at American University in Washington, DC. She is co-author, with Liang Heng, of several well known books on China, including Son of the Revolution (Random House, 1984) and After the Nightmare (Knopf, 1986). She was one of the first Americans to work in China after the normalization of U.S.-China relations in 1979.

論點很好:人的迫害和自然的破壞是一體的。但材料沒有好好使用,論述太簡單。也許對於十多年前的研究已經很不容易瞭吧。
評分To be frank,事實還是挺有用的,但不喜歡這一類書的口吻。
評分傾嚮性很強,談環境又不能完全以科學批判,再加以政治分析。談環境的政治又容易去到精英史觀,個體品行,及“這個人如果沒被打倒,那之後什麼什麼麵貌可能不一樣”的論述。
評分快速翻完就好。
