The Great Han is an ethnographic study of the Han Clothing Movement, a neotraditionalist and racial nationalist movement that has emerged in China since 2001. Participants come together both online and in person in cities across China to revitalize their utopian vision of the authentic “Great Han” and corresponding “real China” through pseudotraditional ethnic dress, reinvented Confucian ritual, and anti-foreign sentiment. Analyzing the movement’s ideas and practices, this book argues that the vision of a pure, perfectly ordered, ethnically homogeneous, and secure society is in fact a fantasy constructed in response to the challenging realities of the present. Yet this national imaginary is reproduced precisely through its own perpetual elusiveness. The Great Han is a pioneering analysis of Han identity, nationalism, and social movements in a rapidly changing China.

There are parts of Guangzhou, you know, like Xiaobei, that are overrun by these black devils[hei gui]. I've been there, have you? You have to leave before nightfall, to be safe. I've seen people laying there in the street, these big black devils, passed out with a needle in their arm, foaming at the mouth. If they don't have money to buy their drugs, they'll beat you and rob you. And if they need a woman, they'll just grab one off the streets and do with her as they please. They'll share her with their friends and give her AIDS. Places like this, like Xiaobei, they're in China, right? There's no debate about whether Xiaobei is part of China. But the people of China have to avoid Xiaobei for their own safety. This is our home country, and we can't go there. (查看原文)
This book is based in field-work with members of the movement in locations across China: based primarily in Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the southern province of Guangdong, my travels throughout China from 2010 to 2011 also provided a chance to discuss this movement with participants in Zhengzhou, Beijing, Chengdu, Kunming, Suzhou, and Haikou.

补标。框架很直白，但也有道理。主要看到里面一些田野材料，尤其是爹味声音，实在是好吐。

Shameful。水平极差的三流学者，对汉服运动充满了偏见，对中国人和中国文化的理解连皮毛都没触及到，却有自信极其异想天开，故意曲解受采访同袍的意思，在这个凯大熊的眼里，所有正常爱民族的汉服同袍多少都带点神经病、就冰哥哥陈囧冰有个人魅力（charisma）。本书唯一的价值就在于实效性了吧，2018年正好在写硕士论文用到。

凯文的研究反映了汉服运动早期的面貌，即在2000-2010年期间其主力军是大汉族主义者，但他的观点如今看上去至少在以下几点理解不足：第一，汉服运动规模扩大的主要动力，是与苏格兰民族主义历史相类似的，在17世纪遭受的文化灭绝政策及其悲情民族叙事。第二，汉服运动是对于主体民族视觉文化符号相比其他民族的缺位的回应，这是建国初的多民族文化建构时忽略主体民族的操作在半个世纪以后的意外副产品，一定程度上反映的... 凯文的研究反映了汉服运动早期的面貌，即在2000-2010年期间其主力军是大汉族主义者，但他的观点如今看上去至少在以下几点理解不足：第一，汉服运动规模扩大的主要动力，是与苏格兰民族主义历史相类似的，在17世纪遭受的文化灭绝政策及其悲情民族叙事。第二，汉服运动是对于主体民族视觉文化符号相比其他民族的缺位的回应，这是建国初的多民族文化建构时忽略主体民族的操作在半个世纪以后的意外副产品，一定程度上反映的是苏式民族关系建构的失败，再者，汉服运动的主力军是城市中产阶级女性，不乏高学历人群，甚至不限于汉族人，他们不但多元化甚至许多还是左派的。但本书却简单将汉服运动和反现代化划等号，这是一种对汉服运动中蕴藏的权力结构的理解偏差；凯文的理解偏差和他的政治光谱有关，他的民族志方法也是1980年代式的。 (展开)

看最近的舆论还有网络，这本书简直是对当代汉族认同最完整最深刻的研究。。

第5章讲Manchu Conspiracy，比较有意思。其它的，更多的算是一种博客体的观察吧，而且十年来，形势也为之丕变。
