Passage to Manhood addresses the intersection of modernity, heroin use, and HIV/AIDS as they are embodied in a new rite-of-passage among young men in the Sichuan province of southwestern China. Through a nuanced analysis of the Nuosu population, this book seeks to answer why the Nuosu has a disproportionately large number of opiate users and HIV positive individuals relative to others in Sichuan. By focusing on the experiences of Nuosu migrants and drug users, it shows how multiple modernities, individual yearnings, and societal resilience have become entwined in the Nuosu's calamitous encounter with the Chinese state and, after long suppression, their efforts at cultural reconstruction.
This ethnography pits the Nuosu youths' adventures, as part of their passage to manhood, against the drastic social changes in their community and, more broadly, China over the last half century. It offers fascinating material for courses on migration, globalization, youth culture, public health, and development at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

评分这本书整体来看故事讲得还可以,在我的分类里比旅途读物高一个等级,但到不了学术专著的程度。人类学研究本身有着显而易见又难以克服的缺陷,就是对于因果关系的识别。以本书为例,作者认为几次剧烈的社会转型和资本主义现代性的入侵,成为巨大的推力,将诺苏的年轻一代推往现...
