具体描述
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
这本书初读之时，确实令人感觉观点独到，方法新颖。但最近又翻了翻，逐渐意识到问题其实很大。本书虽然引用了很多的史料，尤其是西方人的报道，回忆录，外交文件等，但是所下的结论，很多是源自作者自己想当然的理解，并非根据资料的严格的批判分析得来的，尤其是对一些仪式与...
评分何伟亚，列文森奖获奖作品怀柔远人的作者，此书我花了三个小时看完了。 上次中国近代史研讨会上七十多个学者讨论近代史研究问题，说近代史研究上有三个学派，一个是阶级历史学派，也就是我国的正统学派。近代史就是三个革命高潮论。一个是近代化派，也就是研究近代史进退标准...
评分“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...

The Imperialism strikes back! Fascinating, but we still need to know how Chinese students learnt, and how they related with other students, say the Ottoman and Indian, in this classroom of imperial pedagogy, rather than merely foucsing on how the British teachers 'taught'...
评分看到这书，时而想起在1822cafe的早晨，阳光，学术，轻松。。。
