Ancestral Leaves follows one family through six hundred years of Chinese history and brings to life the epic narrative of the nation, from the fourteenth century through the Cultural Revolution. The lives of the Ye family—“Ye” means “leaf” in Chinese—reveal the human side of the large-scale events that shaped modern China: the vast and destructive rebellions of the nineteenth century, the economic growth and social transformation of the republican era, the Japanese invasion during World War II, and the Cultural Revolution under the Chinese Communists. Joseph W. Esherick draws from rare manuscripts and archival and oral history sources to provide an uncommonly personal and intimate glimpse into Chinese family history, illuminating the changing patterns of everyday life during rebellion, war, and revolution.
Joseph W. Esherick is Professor of Modern Chinese History at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of The Origins of the Boxer Uprising (UC Press) and co-editor of The Chinese Cultural Revolution as History, among many books.

评分在某个研讨会上(http://www.dfdaily.com/html/1170/2014/8/24/1179207.shtml),作者的姻亲,叶家的成员,同在美国任职历史教授的叶维丽对本书的写法表达了不满。她觉得书中不应该只有政治史,完全还可以有社会史、生活史、科技史等等内容。而现在这样,活像是给“美国好大学...
评分首先,这本书是一个女婿为自己的岳父完成愿望的,一个家族的百年记录。在个人感情上说,难免会有些春秋笔法。就我而言,这本书的价值本没有太大,书中反映的社会历史状况一般来说,高中毕业的都有一定的感受。但是,它重点用一个个小点来共同搭建了晚清至改革初期的人心...
可读性很强。不过“个人的历史”和“大历史”的断裂感蛮明显,貌似作者想实现的目标没太实现……
评分这本书可读性挺强,可以用来做课本。不过有点不知what to make of it. 不过不管怎么样,手上如果有这么强的一组材料,还是值得写一本的。像叶家这样的生命力和韧性还是很可观的
