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.

評分這部著作的問世在國內引起瞭不小的關注,自然,作為一個對民主轉型有著獨特學術興趣的讀者,也拔瞭草。平心而論,這部書如果可以換個標題就值五星,我給瞭三星是因為他大概還需要再換個翻譯。 為什麼我認為他應該換個標題呢?因為其實曼所討論的更多是現代性對於種族滅絕的影響...
評分文/嚴搏非 本書的作者邁剋爾.曼(Michael Mann)是當代最重要的社會學傢,而這本《民主的陰暗麵》則描述瞭現代性200年以來的一個極為重要的現象,這一現象直到今天我們仍在麵對而無法迴避,即:以抽象的“人民”的名義,對另一部分被歸為“非人民”的“異己”或族群進行清洗的...
評分本文原載《新京報·書評周刊》 邁剋爾·曼的《民主的陰暗麵:解釋種族清洗》如果與R.J. Rummel的《權力殺戮:民主作為非暴力的一種方式》同時閱讀,將是非常有意思的閱讀體驗。同樣最初齣版於2005年,兩本書所傳達的意思卻截然相反:前者試圖論述“民主化加劇族群衝突”,而後...
