‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

Julia Lovell has worked at Birkbeck since 2007. Before then, she was Junior Research Fellow at Queens’ College, Cambridge. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; she also studied for a year at the Hopkins-Nanjing Centre for Chinese Studies. She has translated many works, as well as writing insightful works into the history of China.
She has written articles in the Guardian, the London Times and the Economist on China.
written with such sneering cynicism
评分真是不知道为啥豆瓣上评分这么高。。。
评分so called truth
评分这书的评分偏低了吧……就凭大量的英国方面的资料就值高分了,更别说对许多研究潮流的展现了(比如生活史,内亚视角等等)
评分Another good discussion yesterday. Mostly on nationalism (and the education thereof) and cultural history. News come into attention the next day morning, of drug smuggling in Mexico, S. Korea's urge of Japanese compensation for comfort women, and the lowered US flag in Iraq. Main takeaway: the inventiveness of the late 200 yr Chinese history.

评分1840年英国远洋舰队进攻广东珠江口,标志着鸦片战争的爆发,这一事件被后世历史学家评价为具有重大意义的近代中国的转折点。中国人眼中的鸦片战争是一部充满屈辱和剥削的血泪史,是西方列强贪婪、自私、残忍、蛮横所导致。而西方世界把这件事评价为中国人狭隘、骄横、愚昧、自...
评分大背景,南美独立运动令全球白银供应紧张。“1810年代和1820年代的拉丁美洲独立运动,导致全世界白银产量减少了56.6%。首先,他使得英国用于购买中国茶叶和生丝的白银量减少。其次,英国商人不得不越来越多的求助于鸦片,而不是供不应求的白银,换取他们要购买的茶叶和生丝。”...
