During the height of the Cold War in the 1950s the small island of Quemoy in the Taiwan Strait was the front line in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China and Mao Zedong's People's Republic. Local society and culture were dramatically transformed. Michael Szonyi uses oral history, official documents, and dissident writings to convey the history of the island during this period. In so doing, he sheds light on the social and cultural impact of the Cold War on those who lived through it, as well as on the relationship between China, the United States and the USSR at this critical moment. By analysing the effects of Quemoy's distinctive geopolitical situation on the economy, gender and the family, and citizenship and religion, the book provides a new perspective on the social history of Cold War relations, showing how geopolitics can affect individual lives and communities.

评分挺好看,可惜每章论述(特别是靠前面的章节)不够深入
评分第十一章讨论金门信仰世界的篇幅太短小了,虽然知道宋怡明教授的着重点还是在揭示军事化、地缘政治与现代化间的复杂关系,但宗教相关的内容这样少似乎没法显露他的专长。
