During the height of the Cold War in the 1950s the small island of Quemoy in the Taiwan Strait was the front line in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China and Mao Zedong's People's Republic. Local society and culture were dramatically transformed. Michael Szonyi uses oral history, official documents, and dissident writings to convey the history of the island during this period. In so doing, he sheds light on the social and cultural impact of the Cold War on those who lived through it, as well as on the relationship between China, the United States and the USSR at this critical moment. By analysing the effects of Quemoy's distinctive geopolitical situation on the economy, gender and the family, and citizenship and religion, the book provides a new perspective on the social history of Cold War relations, showing how geopolitics can affect individual lives and communities.

原文摘录
· · · · · ·
The Italian political philosopher, Giorgio Agamben, points out that national emergency, for which his translators use the term "state of exception," is commonly misunderstood as a de facto response to a crisis. The central contradiction of the state of emergency or exception is that the necessity of this response is assumed to be an objective determination, but of course it is not. It is the result of a political decision...The crucial step is to move from seeing emergency as an inevitable response to objective conditions to treating emergency as a problem to be explained.

Quemoy 是小 Cold War Island，臺灣島是大 Cold War Island；Quemoy 是 Front Line，廈門島郊區改開前也曾設「前線公社」。「一個地方的歷史，並不只是過去事件的紀錄，還包括了人們記憶這段過去的方式。因為人們的歷史記憶在一定程度上是由他們對現況的考量所形塑，歷史學家至少必須從三個面向看待歷史：歷史本身，記憶中的歷史，以及在政治中呈現的歷史。」

本书以军事化、地缘政治化、现代化以及记忆这四个互相联系的概念，探讨冷战时期金门社会的变迁与特色。国府迁台以后在金门爆发的一系列战争推动了金门战地政务的形成。60年代以后虽然金门面临的军事威胁日益减少，但由于金门地处冷战最前线的位置，逐渐成为“自由世界”国际宣传的象征，其政治标签也不断被强化。长期的军事化对金门的社会生活、发展模式与集体记忆留下了深刻的烙印。在探讨金门军事化时期的历史时，作者既能兼顾... 本书以军事化、地缘政治化、现代化以及记忆这四个互相联系的概念，探讨冷战时期金门社会的变迁与特色。国府迁台以后在金门爆发的一系列战争推动了金门战地政务的形成。60年代以后虽然金门面临的军事威胁日益减少，但由于金门地处冷战最前线的位置，逐渐成为“自由世界”国际宣传的象征，其政治标签也不断被强化。长期的军事化对金门的社会生活、发展模式与集体记忆留下了深刻的烙印。在探讨金门军事化时期的历史时，作者既能兼顾国际冷战史的宏观视野，又能从微观的个人记忆与细节中展现生动的历史面貌，让我们看到基层百姓面对官方强制性政策的应对之道。而金门的经济现代化，包括土地改革与发展地方产业等，并非单纯以追求经济发展为目标，本质上是为了达成军事化与地缘政治化之目的。因此，金门的发展模式与台湾并不相同，也为日后的转型埋下了伏笔 (展开)

挺好看，可惜每章论述（特别是靠前面的章节）不够深入

内容不算太多。军事化、地缘政治化、现代化视角下的金门特殊年代的日常生活与记忆研究。那个时期金门人民如何想象对岸，我比较感兴趣，可是提的不多。军事化社会下的金门人民与作者另一本卫所制下的军户有相似之处，可以看到作者的关怀始终一致。
