A robust trade in human lives thrived throughout North China during the late Qing and Republican periods. Whether to acquire servants, slaves, concubines, or children—or dispose of unwanted household members—families at all levels of society addressed various domestic needs by participating in this market. Sold People brings into focus the complicit dynamic of human trafficking, including the social and legal networks that sustained it. Johanna Ransmeier reveals the extent to which the structure of the Chinese family not only influenced but encouraged the buying and selling of men, women, and children.
For centuries, human trafficking had an ambiguous status in Chinese society. Prohibited in principle during the Qing period, it was nevertheless widely accepted as part of family life, despite the frequent involvement of criminals. In 1910, Qing reformers, hoping to usher China into the community of modern nations, officially abolished the trade. But police and other judicial officials found the new law extremely difficult to enforce. Industrialization, urbanization, and the development of modern transportation systems created a breeding ground for continued commerce in people. The Republican government that came to power after the 1911 revolution similarly struggled to root out the entrenched practice.
Ransmeier draws from untapped archival sources to recreate the lived experience of human trafficking in turn-of-the-century North China. Not always a measure of last resort reserved for times of extreme hardship, the sale of people was a commonplace transaction that built and restructured families as often as it broke them apart.
Johanna S. Ransmeier is Assistant Professor of History and the College at the University of Chicago.
挺好的。寫作建構上的多領域交融(法製、社會、環境、交通融會貫通),性彆文化在政權易代間的變遷導緻傢庭結構女性地位的變化,適閤與馬釗專著同讀(一個主動一個被動)——流動性從來都不會是冷門的研究話題
評分作者說的人口販賣不隻是現象而是癥狀,人口販賣如何把傢庭中階級等級建立起來,如何講周圍的人勾聯起來。背後是一個更大的社會背景:一方麵,19c晚期中國逐漸納入世界版圖,蓄奴作為一種話語和自由'閤法等觀念相連; 另一方麵,人口買賣作為一種生存手段客觀解決瞭清末的人口存活,婚姻,勞力缺失等問題。學理上,作者想對話將奴隸當做財産(華琛)或權力關係(Patterson, O.)的範式,認為前二者都沒法將傢庭這一型塑中國人口買賣的重要力量納入考慮。
