Michael Mann is a Professor of Sociology at University of California, Los Angeles. He is author of The Sources of Social Power, 2nd edition (Cambridge University Press, 2012-13) and Fascists (Cambridge University Press, 2004).
A new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases (colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda) and cases of lesser violence (early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia). Murderous cleansing is modern, 'the dark side of democracy'. It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethno-national movements each claims 'its own' state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights because of aid from outside, or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. Escalation is not simply the work of 'evil elites' or 'primitive peoples'. It results from complex interactions between leaders, militants, and 'core constituencies' of ethno-nationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.

這本書的翻譯是中國齣版界的恥辱!糟糕透頂的翻譯把如此精彩的曆史書籍徹底毀瞭,整本書雖然是中文的,但語法結構就是英文的,簡直不會說中國話。比如這名話,148頁的,“對亞美尼亞可能不是忠誠公民的懷疑在一些人感染上瞭席捲歐洲的民族主義流毒之時似乎得到瞭證實”,這句的...
評分民主有沒有陰暗麵?肯定有。所以,這本書的作者在某種意義上肯定說齣瞭部分真相。民主操作不當,或者不夠成熟的時候,陰暗麵就會很大。同樣,某種“失敗的民主”也可能會擴大這種危害性。 同樣,性生活有沒有危害性?肯定也有。比如,過度的性生活會導緻腰酸膝軟,影響身體健...
評分迴顧中外曆史,大屠殺可謂古來有之,無論是秦將白起坑殺四十萬趙軍,還是成吉思汗在西徵時的野蠻屠城,其殘忍和慘烈程度絲毫不亞於現代曆史上的任何一次大屠殺。然而大多數學者仍然認為,以某個種族整體作為消滅對象的大屠殺,卻全部都發生在現代。 正基於此,對於種族清洗現...
評分《民主的陰暗麵》,邁剋爾·曼著,嚴春鬆譯,中央編譯齣版社,2015年7月第1版。似乎叫“人性的陰暗麵”更閤適。作者認為種族清洗是現代纔齣現的,故將之歸結為現代製度下的行為,但似乎所謂北方國傢、即“民主”國傢纔能擺脫這種行為。作為社會學專著,讀來過於專業細緻,...
評分文 / 李公明 20世紀,人類遭受瞭許多被以“種族清洗”或“階級清洗”等動機驅使的大屠殺。然而,那無數邪惡的引擎是如何瘋轉起來的?對此,很少有人能夠精準地洞悉和描述。種族與人民的關係、獨裁與民主的製度演變、受害者與施害者的心理動機……還有更多的事件、人物等復雜因...
