具體描述
Since its first publication, Paul A. Cohen's Discovering History in China has occupied a singular place in American China scholarship. Translated into three East Asian languages, the volume has become essential to the study of China from the early nineteenth century to today.
Cohen critiques the work of leading postwar scholars and is especially adamant about not reading China through the lens of Western history. To this end, he uncovers the strong ethnocentric bias pervading the three major conceptual frameworks of American scholarship of the 1950s and 1960s: the impact-response, modernization, and imperialism approaches. In place of these, Cohen favors a "China-centered" approach in which historians understand Chinese history on its own terms, paying close attention to Chinese historical trajectories and Chinese perceptions of their problems, rather than a set of expectations derived from Western history. In an important new introduction, Cohen reflects on his fifty-year career as a historian of China and discusses major recent trends in the field. Although some of these developments challenge a narrowly conceived China-centered approach, insofar as they enable more balanced comparisons between China and the West and recast the Chinese and their history in more human, less exotic terms, they powerfully affirm the central thrust of Cohen's work.

讀後感
“不是历史学家的人有时以为历史就是过去的事实。可是历史学家应该知道并非如此。当然事实俱在。但它们数量无穷，照例沉默不语，即使一旦开口又往往互相矛盾，甚至无法理解……选择什么事实，赋予这些事实以什么含义，在很大程度上取决于我们提出的是什么问题，和我们进行研究...
評分一本系统反思美国的中国史研究特别是中国近代史研究的书，作者在批评了冲击—回应模式、现代化模式和帝国主义模式之后，提出应该改变这三种模式所共有的缺陷，就是西方中心观的中国史研究，而应该采取中国中心观。换言之，从“局外人”的视角向“局内人”转变。 先放下中国中心...

美國中國學新派學者的標誌性著作
评分以觀光心態讀過中文版後這次細讀英文版。文筆甚好，想來中文本有不少翻譯錯漏。書名應為“在中國如何發現/發現瞭什麼近代史的意義”，聚焦於從道光到中共建政前的曆史。美國學者強調此段曆史中重大變革外來勢力真正穿透整個中國地域，加上中國史傢所言韆古未有之變局，所有研究者都是外部者，甚至可以說對不少研究者來說中國曆史是自此啓動（得先把此時段中國推入雷達偵測再擴大搜索範圍），內部視角、中國中心、長時段視角都不能自外於這些焦點。加之美國學界對明清前中國/中原王朝史研究的薄弱，三大範式、內外分野、中國中心視角的特色等，不僅像柯文所言要結閤美國特定時段社會政治狀況和學者心態來看，也要結閤美國一係列知識社群風嚮潮流轉變和研究議程如何設定來理解“發現”，甚至有時發現和發明的界限很微妙，長時段中各時段也是不均衡的。
