This classic text by Fei Xiaotong, China's finest social scientist, was first published in 1947 and is Fei's chief theoretical statement about the distinctive characteristics of Chinese society. Written in Chinese from a Chinese point of view for a Chinese audience, "From the Soil" describes the contrasting organizational principles of Chinese and Western societies, thereby conveying the essential features of both. Fei shows how these unique features reflect and are reflected in the moral and ethical characters of people in these societies. This profound, challenging book is both succinct and accessible. In its first complete English-language edition, it is likely to have a wide impact on Western social theorists. Gary G. Hamilton and Wang Zheng's translation captures Fei's jargonless, straightforward style of writing. Their introduction describes Fei's education and career as a sociologist, the fate of his writings on and off the Mainland, and the sociological significance of his analysis. The translators' epilogue highlights the social reforms for China that Fei drew from his analysis and advocated in a companion text written in the same period.

我的英文还是太差了
评分翻译的还不错其实
评分英文譯本未必能傳達文筆，但對於社會科學生或許更好理解。在中文中所認不出的黑話與背景知識都被英譯本一一標出，序言也極好，極是負責。即使在今日中國更加城市化的社會和高漲的民族主義情緒中，費老的研究依稀能讓我們在今日中國辨別出它過去的模樣。
评分Read it with Lycian Pye.
评分费老的经典之作，相比于他80年代之后的文章，文风差别太大，想来那二十年用“浩劫”来形容一点都不为过吧。
