In addressing the origins of ethnic cleansing, UCLA sociologist Mann (Fascism) locates differing stages of political participation as a major factor. He begins with stable authoritarian regimes (e.g., Tito's Yugoslavia) that exclude participation; when such regimes break down, there is a period of everybody scrambling for power and trying to exclude somebody else with the "else" usually defined on ethnic lines. Other examples include Armenia, the Holocaust and Rwanda, as well as India (the Sikhs and Muslims) and Indonesia (the Chinese). Eventually, the author's somewhat optimistic scenario argues, we arrive at stable participatory societies, with everybody somewhat included and limits set on what can be done to exclude groups (the Voting Rights Act of 1964 in the U.S.). Free from sociological jargon and abundant in historical data, this study sufficiently allows lay readers access. It can be difficult at moments to tell if Mann's prediction of the high body count in the Third World's coming century or so of ethnic cleansing is Eurocentric, callous or grimly realistic, but such moments always resolve into that last choice. Mann proposes some feasible remedies and scales of intervention.

Review
'The Dark Side of Democracy ... is a formidable and in some ways successful attempt to produce a sociological grand theory to explain these terrible events. ... Mann's work represents contemporary historical sociology at its best - well informed, relevant, well evidenced and interesting - and all readers must have great respect for his conclusions ...' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Mann's volume provides a valuable contribution to the study of murderous ethnic cleansing. The ability to gather such a wide range of perspectives and experience makes his effort both worthwhile and timely, and it will therefore be very useful for anyone working and dealing with ethnic conflicts. An additional merit is that Mann has written this book at a level that is going to satisfy the inquisitiveness of both his peers and students, which ensures (and inspires) additional enquiries into its topic.' Southeast European Politics 'The Dark Side's theses are enormously suggestive, clearly have considerable purchase on the cases and inform rich interpretations that set new standards of analytical complexity in historical sociology.' Sociology 'This is a very important book ... Mann has provided a powerful analysis which will give much food for thought. ... This book should be read by everybody with a concern for the ethnic cleansing that now forms a staple part of our media diet.' British Society of Criminology 'Michael Mann's impressive The Dark Side of Democracy makes a giant step toward specifying the concrete social studies and circumstances that produce such results ... It is a major achievement.' New Left Review
[英]迈克尔·曼(Michael Mann) 西方影响力极高的历史社会学家。牛津大学社会学博士,美国加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校社会学教授。曾执教于伦敦经济学院(LSE)、艾塞克斯大学和剑桥大学等。
曼的的写作方式属于“终生写作”,著述不多却极为深刻,致力于探索人类社会权力的本质,近年来从对历史框架下的一般权力分析转向了对我们当代生活中的最阴暗角落的研究:人类中的大恶与现代性—民主的关系。
主要著作有《社会权力的来源》(四卷,已完成两卷)、《不连贯的帝国》、《法西斯主义者》等。其中,长达数年跨度完成的《社会权力的来源》(第一、二卷)获“全美社会学联合会”杰出学术著作奖,是社会学领域的权威著作,在西方思想界赢得了与马克斯·韦伯等量齐观的赞誉,曼本人也被视为韦伯之后最伟大的社会学家。而作为社会思想的里程碑,他的著作“表现出惊人的广博、罕见的深刻和雄辩的理论”。

评分这本书则是强调了民主可能带来的矛盾激化问题,在现代化进程中任何一小部分的声音都可能爆发出极大的能量,那么为了意见统一,简单粗暴的方式就是,大清洗

回顾中外历史,大屠杀可谓古来有之,无论是秦将白起坑杀四十万赵军,还是成吉思汗在西征时的野蛮屠城,其残忍和惨烈程度丝毫不亚于现代历史上的任何一次大屠杀。然而大多数学者仍然认为,以某个种族整体作为消灭对象的大屠杀,却全部都发生在现代。 正基于此,对于种族清洗现...
评分《民主的阴暗面》,迈克尔·曼著,严春松译,中央编译出版社,2015年7月第1版。似乎叫“人性的阴暗面”更合适。作者认为种族清洗是现代才出现的,故将之归结为现代制度下的行为,但似乎所谓北方国家、即“民主”国家才能摆脱这种行为。作为社会学专著,读来过于专业细致,...
评分迈克尔·曼的《民主的阴暗面:解释种族清洗》如果与R.J. Rummel的《权力杀戮:民主作为非暴力的一种方式》同时阅读,将是非常有意思的阅读体验。同样最初出版于2005年,两本书所传达的意思却截然相反:前者试图论述“民主化加剧族群冲突”,而后者想说的则是“民主缓冲社会的暴...
