Inserting China into the history of nineteenth-century colonialism, English Lessons explores the ways that Euroamerican imperial powers humiliated the Qing monarchy and disciplined the Qing polity in the wake of multi-power invasions of China in 1860 and 1900. Focusing on the processes by which Great Britain enacted a pedagogical project that was itself a form of colonization, James L. Hevia demonstrates how British actors instructed the Manchu-Chinese elite on "proper" behavior in a world dominated by multiple imperial powers. Their aim was to "bring China low" and make it a willing participant in British strategic goals in Asia. These lessons not only transformed the Qing dynasty, but ultimately contributed to its destruction.
Hevia analyzes British Foreign Office documents, diplomatic memoirs, auction house and museum records, nineteenth-century scholarly analyses of Chinese history and culture, campaign records, and photographs. He shows how Britain refigured its imperial project in China as a cultural endeavor by investigating the circulation of military loot in Europe, the creation of an art history of "things Chinese," the construction of a field of knowledge about China, and the Great Game rivalry between Britain, Russia, and Qing empire in Central Asia. Each of these elements not only influenced the colonial project, but also had a significant impact on creating a national consciousness in China.

读后感
“中华帝国只是一艘破旧不堪的旧船，只是幸运地有了几位谨慎的船长才使它在近150年期间没有沉没。它那巨大的躯壳使周围的邻国见了害怕。假如来了个无能之辈掌舵，那船上的纪律与安全就都完了。但船不会立刻沉没，它将像一个残骸那样到处漂流，然后在岸上撞得粉碎，并且永远不能...

评分To the West, China was now the sickman of Asia by James Hevia
评分This book is more important than people have realized, and few notice that it interrelates with The Great Divergence.
评分告诉我评分为什么这么低？史料详实不说，对于looting始终遮遮掩掩欲说还羞的西人，这么鞭辟入里的一顿抖落着实值得尊敬。pedagogy的定位十分准确，近代侵华史终究是一堂英语课。
评分Not that impressed, the relative absence of Chinese-language sources and some of the more grandiose claims made on ceremonies are both rather problematic. It's less Chinese history rather than global/imperial history, and somewhat far-fetched at that.
