In clear and compelling prose, Judith Shapiro relates the great, untold story of the devastating impact of Chinese politics on China's environment during the Mao years. Maoist China provides an example of extreme human interference in the natural world in an era in which human relationships were also unusually distorted. Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of "harmony between heaven and humans" was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that "Man Must Conquer Nature." Mao and the Chinese Communist Party's "war" to bend the physical world to human will often had disastrous consequences both for human beings and the natural environment. Mao's War Against Nature argues that the abuse of people and the abuse of nature are often linked. Shapiro's account, told in part through the voices of average Chinese citizens and officials who lived through and participated in some of the destructive campaigns, is both eye-opening and heartbreaking. Judith Shapiro teaches environmental politics at American University in Washington, DC. She is co-author, with Liang Heng, of several well known books on China, including Son of the Revolution (Random House, 1984) and After the Nightmare (Knopf, 1986). She was one of the first Americans to work in China after the normalization of U.S.-China relations in 1979.
In Mao’s War against Nature, Shapiro expressed her idea clear in the topic: Maoist “development”, if had made any progress, was established on war-like abuse of nature. Such violence was parallel to the violence people did to their fellowmen. According t...

A little bit rambling but generally a book with in situ evidence and objective thinking.
评分論點很好:人的迫害和自然的破壞是一體的。但材料沒有好好使用,論述太簡單。也許對於十多年前的研究已經很不容易瞭吧。
评分打打嘴仗顯得很厲害的樣子
评分論證過程比較有意思,特彆是四個維度的劃分。史料是國人比較熟悉的,不過考慮到2001年可用材料更有限且是pre-digital era,作者應該還是做瞭很多工作的。
评分an exemplar of how NOT to write history. 處理曆史材料能力之差,理解之膚淺,讓人汗顔。
