In 1939, residents of a rural village near Chengdu watched as Lei Mingyuan, a member of a violent secret society known as the Gowned Brothers, executed his teenage daughter. Six years later, Shen Baoyuan, a sociology student at Yenching University, arrived in the town to conduct fieldwork on the society that once held sway over local matters. She got to know Lei Mingyuan and his family, recording many rare insights about the murder and the Gowned Brothers' inner workings.
Using the filicide as a starting point to examine the history, culture, and organization of the Gowned Brothers, Di Wang offers nuanced insights into the structures of local power in 1940s rural Sichuan. Moreover, he examines the influence of Western sociology and anthropology on the way intellectuals in the Republic of China perceived rural communities. By studying the complex relationship between the Gowned Brothers and the Chinese Communist Party, he offers a unique perspective on China's transition to socialism. In so doing, Wang persuasively connects a family in a rural community, with little overt influence on national destiny, to the movements and ideologies that helped shape contemporary China.

了解袍哥,才能懂四川、重庆人的特点
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
最早听说袍哥这个词,还是小时候看傻儿师长。 对一句台词印象很深刻,叫“袍哥人家,绝不拉稀摆带”,意思是袍哥人家,干脆,耿直。 这也成了川渝地区的文化特色。 四川话里很多词都来源于袍哥的黑话,像氉皮(丢面子)、落教(合规矩)、 搭手(帮忙)、扎起(大力帮助、袒护... (展开)

再次惊叹语言习惯及学术传统的力量——王老师的这本书,中英文给人的差异感太大了,这点尤其表现在对沈的看法,中文版要慈悲很多。

这是真正意义上硬着头皮啃的第一本英文书,需要强调下。英文本没有中文本好看,而且内容和结构有差异,英文本感觉更偏向于西方的anthropology

作为标榜微观史学的著作,叙述却十分乏味,而且分析也浅尝辄止,比如袍哥和其他秘密社会的共性和差异,如何通过袍哥了解乡村社会的特质和日常运作,暴力和秩序如何构建和维系。很多地方,明显感觉是作者费了功夫找了一些材料,而这些材料却又和主题的联系不是那么紧密,但如果丢了又自己觉得可惜,为了凑字数而加进去。这导致这本薄书在某些地方却又有拖沓的地方。说实话,如果这本书是一个青椒写出来的,肯定被出版社毙了
