当然谁也不能幸免于意识形态拉。 不过汉人的形象总是被媚俗地幻想为 霸道、漠不关心、自以为是。 少数民族也被理想化了。 However,此书提供了不错的思考,总比中共的某些宣传好

评分作者在导言部分所写,他们是03年在北京学习的时候产生了周游中国少数民族地区的想法,大约在05年时成行,先去了东北,然后西北,西南,经过了大部分少数民族地区,村寨,见到了各个少数民族,虽然不是全部。 作者的一些描述是精准的,例如,农村山区的村民们,不管是不是少数...

In this eloquent and eye-opening adventure narrative, Colin Legerton and Jacob Rawson, two Americans fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Uyghur, throw away the guidebook and bring a hitherto unexplored side of China to light. They journey over 14,000 miles by bus and train to the farthest reaches of the country to meet the minority peoples who dwell there, talking to farmers in their fields, monks in their monasteries, fishermen on their skiffs, and herders on the steppe.
In Invisible China, they engage in a heated discussion of human rights with Daur and Ewenki village cadres; celebrate Muhammad’s birthday with aging Dongxiang hajjis who recount the government’s razing of their mosque; attend mass with old Catholic Kinh fishermen at a church that has been forty years without a priest; hike around high-altitude Lugu Lake to farm with the matrilineal Mosuo women; and descend into a dry riverbed to hunt for jade with Muslim Uyghur merchants. As they uncover surprising facts about China’s hidden minorities and their complex position in Chinese society, they discover the social ramifications of inconsistent government policies--and some deep human truths as well.
想了想,还是4星吧。
评分文中含有不小偏见,但也有若干洞见。至少,作者万里行程,并希望在现实生活中讨论问题,这还是弥足珍贵的。
评分记述个人观察为主,大多浮光掠影,时而略有想当然。一些想法蛮有趣,比如将(法律意义的)中国人内部的差异与「欧洲人」类比。另外,帝国不关心人。
评分(3,3.5)。个人体验为主,一些想法有点意思但整体上没什么洞见,适合扫盲——意识形态在民族问题上究竟是“无效”还是“被遮蔽”还有待观察。“只杀汉人”是否比“什么都杀”要“高尚”那么一点?
