Rate this book
《东方历史评论02》以华人移民海外的历史为专题,展示从明末清初以来中国人向异域迁徙的苦乐心酸,这是一条充满荆棘、充满梦想的漫漫征途,从最初的单纯谋生、到追求财富、再到追求安全、追求荣耀,这不断变化的移民目的也折射出中国走向现代化的阵痛、曲折、辉煌与病症。同样,异域文明也在伴随着自身文化的自信与危机,交替贬低或抬高它们眼中的“中国形象”。
《东方历史评论02》“影像”主题为“流水线上的青春”,选了一组车间女孩的照片,看看那些姑娘,即使工装也掩不住青春和美丽,伴随着她们美好的梦想,正在流水线上慢慢消逝。这 1.5 亿年轻人中最绝望的, 已经从富士康工厂的楼顶一跃而下, 作为对这个残酷时代的无声抗议。
《东方历史评论02》“随笔”栏目,收入埃及作家福阿德•阿贾米谈论“埃及知识分子的悲剧”、 陈徒手考查“‘文革’期间北京清理政治环境琐记”、张冠生挖掘“罗隆基‘反右’时期的史料”、芮虎描述“东德‘斯塔西’档案解密过程”等一系列精彩文章。
