Di Wang is Professor of History at the University of Macau. He is the author of The Teahouse: Small Business, Everyday Culture, and Public Politics in Chengdu, 1900–1950 (Stanford, 2008).
In 1939, residents of a rural village near Chengdu watched as Lei Mingyuan, a member of a violent secret society known as the Gowned Brothers, executed his teenage daughter. Six years later, Shen Baoyuan, a sociology student at Yenching University, arrived in the town to conduct fieldwork on the society that once held sway over local matters. She got to know Lei Mingyuan and his family, recording many rare insights about the murder and the Gowned Brothers' inner workings.
Using the filicide as a starting point to examine the history, culture, and organization of the Gowned Brothers, Di Wang offers nuanced insights into the structures of local power in 1940s rural Sichuan. Moreover, he examines the influence of Western sociology and anthropology on the way intellectuals in the Republic of China perceived rural communities. By studying the complex relationship between the Gowned Brothers and the Chinese Communist Party, he offers a unique perspective on China's transition to socialism. In so doing, Wang persuasively connects a family in a rural community, with little overt influence on national destiny, to the movements and ideologies that helped shape contemporary China.
知道王笛是通过一个历史系的朋友,而对这本书的了解是通过一位文学作家。 王笛写《袍哥》是以燕京大学沈宝媛的本科毕业论文为载体和主线的,贯穿了雷明远作为袍哥之一的兴起、鼎盛以及衰落的境况。哥老会不是一个简单的组织,而是作为一个社会团体存在,并对当地的政权、秩序以...

评分 评分看到王笛老师出的这本书,非常感兴趣,买来拜读,但是读完后的感觉与期望差距还是比较明显的。对中国近现代史的研究,很多人批评道:太过于关注上层而忽略了下层人民,但这本书很好地解释了这样的研究趋向为什么发生,因为对于下层群众生活的记载实在太少。俗话说:巧妇难为无...
评分- 這本書,我是在成都寬窄巷子的散花書屋買的。話說農曆年前我到成都出差,有一個黃昏空著,向朋友查詢書店,朋友竟然推薦我去旅遊景店的寛窄巷子,見到地圖上顯示有3家書店在上邊,抱著死就死的心態去看看。 - 當時遊人還是十分的多,惟那邊的氣氛還可以。見山書店其實不大,...
Microhistory的尝试。不过内容实在是写得太过单薄了。致命的是,全书并无一个有效的问题意识在支撑。
评分这是真正意义上硬着头皮啃的第一本英文书,需要强调下。英文本没有中文本好看,而且内容和结构有差异,英文本感觉更偏向于西方的anthropology
