本书是当代非洲重要思想家马哈茂德·马姆达尼对于现代非洲（殖民）政体的理论性总结。全书分三章，第一章讨论间接统治模式的发轫阶段。这种统治模式之出现，既是帝国最具原创性思想家之一梅因爵士对帝国在19世纪中期所面临危机的知识性反思的结果，同时也是旨在在英国印度、马来半岛殖民地以及荷属东印度缓和这种危机的系列殖民统治改革的结果。第二章思考非洲各殖民地国家的“间接统治”；最后一章转向这一过程的反面：脱殖民化运动，包括它的精神的以及政治的维度。
马姆达尼在本书中通过对历史脉络的认真梳理和后殖民统治现实的冷静分析，深刻而尖锐地揭示出在后殖民时代，历史和政治思想及法律如何汇集于殖民想象之中而创造出了“界而治之”这样一套制轭东南亚、印度和非洲大部分地区的统治技术。他展示出过去的殖民历史如何在当下仍然活着，而如何打破殖民史的过程中所遺留下来的政治构造，如何拆解殖民史观，如何打破间接统治的格局，重建政治、法律机构乃是非洲大陆漫长的努力方向。

Define and Rule focuses on the turn in late nineteenth-century colonial statecraft when Britain abandoned the attempt to eradicate difference between conqueror and conquered and introduced a new idea of governance, as the definition and management of difference. Mahmood Mamdani explores how lines were drawn between settler and native as distinct political identities, and between natives according to tribe. Out of that colonial experience issued a modern language of pluralism and difference. A mid-nineteenth-century crisis of empire attracted the attention of British intellectuals and led to a reconception of the colonial mission, and to reforms in India, British Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies. The new politics, inspired by Sir Henry Maine, established that natives were bound by geography and custom, rather than history and law, and made this the basis of administrative practice. Maine's theories were later translated into "native administration" in the African colonies. Mamdani takes the case of Sudan to demonstrate how colonial law established tribal identity as the basis for determining access to land and political power, and follows this law's legacy to contemporary Darfur. He considers the intellectual and political dimensions of African movements toward decolonization by focusing on two key figures: the Nigerian historian Yusuf Bala Usman, who argued for an alternative to colonial historiography, and Tanzania's first president, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, who realized that colonialism's political logic was legal and administrative, not military, and could be dismantled through nonviolent reforms.

When I was sixteen I became an Islamic fundamentalist. Five years later, after much emotional turmoil, I rejected fundamentalist teachings and returned to normal life and my family. I tried to put my experiences behind me, but as the events of 7/7 unfolded it became clear to me that Islamist groups pose a threat to this country that we — Muslims and non-Muslims alike — do not yet understand.
This is the first time an ex-member openly discusses life within radical Islamic organisations. This is my story.
Back when the book was launched in the UK, news of the publicity storm The Islamist made even the front page of the International Herald Tribune :
‘ The Islamist …has caused a ruckus in the newspapers, on television, on talk shows and in blogs .’
The Islamist has received wide and various acclaim from both the political right and left; film rights are being sought and there is still a great buzz around this important and timely book.

In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the haunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespearean villains. It is also the deeply moving portrait of those who fought Leopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young idealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedly found themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild brings this largely untold story alive with the wit and skill of a Barbara Tuchman. Like her, he knows that history often provides a far richer cast of characters than any novelist could invent. Chief among them is Edmund Morel, a young British shipping agent who went on to lead the international crusade against Leopold. Another hero of this tale, the Irish patriot Roger Casement, ended his life on a London gallows. Two courageous black Americans, George Washington Williams and William Sheppard, risked much to bring evidence of the Congo atrocities to the outside world. Sailing into the middle of the story was a young Congo River steamboat officer named Joseph Conrad. And looming above them all, the duplicitous billionaire King Leopold II. With great power and compassion, King Leopold's Ghost will brand the tragedy of the Congo--too long forgotten--onto the conscience of the West.

From the author of In the Country of Men, a Man Booker Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, comes a beautifully written, uplifting memoir of his journey home to his native Libya in search of the truth behind his father’s disappearance.
When Hisham Matar was a nineteen-year-old university student in England, his father was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime’s most prominent opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. “Hope,” as he writes, “is cunning and persistent.”
Twenty-two years later, after the fall of Qaddafi, the prison cells are empty and there is no sign of Jaballa Matar. Hisham returns with his mother and wife to the homeland he never thought he’d go back to again. The Return is the story of what he found there. It is at once an exquisite meditation on history, politics, and art, a brilliant portrait of a nation and a people on the cusp of change, and a disquieting depiction of the brutal legacy of absolute power. Above all, it is a universal tale of loss and love and of one family’s life. Hisham Matar asks the harrowing question: How does one go on living in the face of a loved one’s uncertain fate?

As someone who has studied history for much of my life, I have found the past fascinating. But it has always been some grand and even intimidating universe that I wanted to unpick and explain to myself.
Wang Gungwu is one of Asia’s most important public intellectuals. He is best-known for his explorations of Chinese history in the long view, and for his writings on the Chinese diaspora. With Home is Not Here, the historian of grand themes turns to a single life history: his own.
In this volume, Wang talks about his multicultural upbringing and life under British rule. He was born in Surabaya, Java, but his parents’ orientation was always to China. Wang grew up in the plural, multi-ethnic town of Ipoh, Malaya (now Malaysia). He learned English in colonial schools and was taught the Confucian classics at home. After the end of WWII and Japanese occupation, he left for the National Central University in Nanjing to study alongside some of the finest of his generation of Chinese undergraduates. The victory of Mao Zedong’s Communist Party interrupted his education, and he ends this volume with his return to Malaya.
Wise and moving, this is a fascinating reflection on family, identity, and belonging, and on the ability of the individual to find a place amid the historical currents that have shaped Asia and the world.

两千年来，大理一直是中国西南的交通要冲与商业中心。西藏马贩子南下购买茶叶，缅甸药草商来往云南，他们都要路过大理。
2005年，英国画家万哲生（Jason Pym）与新婚妻子万可（CC）来到大理度蜜月，在古城咖啡馆前面晒着太阳。两个星期后，他们在大理租下房子，安顿下来。十余年间，他画下大量速写，记录大理的人文、美食和自然风光，为这座城市作传。
在他眼中，大理的风花雪月、草木乡民，都不只是游客的消费对象，而是每天心之念之的邻家故里。正如他喜欢的一个大理当地的说法，一生中最重要的就是“老地、老伴和老友”。
万哲生的母语不是汉语，但是他决定一定要用中文记录自己所热爱的大理，因为这是他相处多年的本地朋友和乡亲能够看得懂的语言，这里毕竟是他们祖祖辈辈生活的家乡。
正如他在后记中所说：“我并不担心自己这本书写得不完美，只是认为用中文写完它，就可以说，我对得起大理这个地方了。”

Politics of Piety is a groundbreaking analysis of Islamist cultural politics through the ethnography of a thriving, grassroots women's piety movement in the mosques of Cairo, Egypt. Unlike those organized Islamist activities that seek to seize or transform the state, this is a moral reform movement whose orthodox practices are commonly viewed as inconsequential to Egypt's political landscape. Saba Mahmood's compelling exposition of these practices challenges this assumption by showing how the ethical and the political are indelibly linked within the context of such movements. Not only is this book a sensitive ethnography of a critical but largely ignored dimension of the Islamic revival, it is also an unflinching critique of the secular-liberal principles by which some people hold such movements to account. The book addresses three central questions: How do movements of moral reform help us rethink the normative liberal account of politics? How does the adherence of women to the patriarchal norms at the core of such movements parochialize key assumptions within feminist theory about freedom, agency, authority, and the human subject? How does a consideration of debates about embodied religious rituals among Islamists and their secular critics help us understand the conceptual relationship between bodily form and political imaginaries? Politics of Piety is essential reading for anyone interested in issues at the nexus of ethics and politics, embodiment and gender, and liberalism and postcolonialism.

Everything needs to change. And it has to start today
In August 2018 a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day. Her actions ended up sparking a global movement for action against the climate crisis, inspiring millions of pupils to go on strike for our planet, forcing governments to listen, and earning her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
This book brings you Greta in her own words. Collecting her speeches that have made history across Europe, from the UN to mass street protests, No One Is Too Small to Make A Difference is a rallying cry for why we must all wake up and fight to protect the living planet, no matter how powerless we feel. Our future depends upon it.

How can America's information technology (IT) industry predict serious labor shortages while at the same time laying off tens of thousands of employees annually? The answer is the industry's flexible labor management system - a flexibility widely regarded as the modus operandi of global capitalism today. "Global "Body Shopping"" explores how flexibility and uncertainty in the IT labor market are constructed and sustained through concrete human actions. Drawing on in-depth field research in southern India and in Australia, and folding an ethnography into a political economy examination, Xiang Biao offers a richly detailed analysis of the India-based global labor management practice known as "body shopping."In this practice, a group of consultants - body shops - in different countries works together to recruit IT workers. Body shops then farm out workers to clients as project-based labor; and upon a project's completion they either place the workers with a different client or "bench" them to await the next placement. Thus, labor is managed globally to serve volatile capital movement. Underpinning this practice are unequal socioeconomic relations on multiple levels. While wealth in the New Economy is created in an increasingly abstract manner, everyday realities - stock markets in New York, benched IT workers in Sydney, dowries in Hyderabad, and women and children in Indian villages - sustain this flexibility.

为什么印度的整体社会发展缓慢，而软件出口却独领风骚？为什么美国的IT公司不断裁人，同时又引进外国雇员？作者基于在印度、澳大利亚和马来西亚长达两年的人类学实地调查写作此书，指出其中关键在于IT产业中的“猎身”体系。它是指一个以印度为中心的全球化劳动力配置和管理体系。

Few recent phenomena have proved as emblematic of our era, and as little understood, as globalisation. Are nation-states being transformed by globalisation into a single globalised economy? Do global cultural forces herald a postnational millennium? Tying ethnography to structural analysis, "Flexible Citizenship" explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes within the Asia-Pacific, including the impact of these forces on women and family life.Explaining how intensified travel, communications, and mass media have created a trans-national Chinese public, Aihwa Ong argues that previous studies have mistakenly viewed trans-nationality as necessarily detrimental to the nation-state and have ignored individual agency in the large-scale flow of people, images, and cultural forces across borders. She describes how political upheavals and global markets have induced Asian investors, in particular, to blend strategies of migration and of capital accumulation and how these trans-national subjects have come to symbolise both the fluidity of capital and the tension between national and personal identities.Refuting claims about the end of the nation-state and about 'the clash of civilizations', Ong presents a clear account of the cultural logics of globalisation and an incisive contribution to the anthropology of Asia-Pacific modernity and its links to global social change. This pioneering investigation of trans-national cultural forms will appeal to those in anthropology, globalisation studies, postcolonial studies, history, Asian studies, Marxist theory, and cultural studies.

余秀华的诗歌，诉诸的是诗本身神秘非理性的逻辑，自有其妙。雄辩的诗歌向来为中国当代诗推崇，而余秀华的诗放弃辩论，放弃自圆其说，甚至放弃结论，因此与读者并不构成一种咄咄逼人的关系。——廖伟棠
我觉得余秀华是中国的艾米丽狄金森，出奇的想象，语言的打击力量，与中国大部分女诗人相比，余秀华的诗歌是纯粹的诗歌，是生命的诗歌，而不是写出来的充满装饰的盛宴或家宴，而是语言的流星雨，灿烂得你目瞪口呆，感情的深度打中你，让你的心疼痛。——学者、诗人沈睿
一个无法劳作的脑瘫患者，却有着常人莫及的语言天才。——《诗刊》编辑刘年
诗歌是什么呢，我不知道，也说不出来，不过是情绪在跳跃，或沉潜。不过是当心灵发出呼唤的时候，它以赤子的姿势到来，不过是一个人摇摇晃晃地在摇摇晃晃的人间走动的时候，它充当了一根拐杖。——余秀华

余秀华说：“于我而言，只有在写诗歌的时候，我才是完整的，安静的，快乐的。其实我一直不是一个安静的人，我不甘心这样的命运，我也做不到逆来顺受，但是我所有的抗争都落空，我会泼妇骂街，当然我本身就是一个农妇，我没有理由完全脱离它的劣根性。但是我根本不会想到诗歌会是一种武器，即使是，我也不会用，因为太爱，因为舍不得。即使我被这个社会污染的没有一处干净的地方，而回到诗歌，我又干净起来。诗歌一直在清洁我，悲悯我。” 本书从余秀华近年创作的2000首诗歌中精选100余首，主题涉及爱情、亲情、生活的困难与感悟，生活的瞬间的意义等。

The decline in power, popularity and prestige of religion across the modern world is not a short-term or localized trend nor is it an accident. It is a consequence of subtle but powerful features of modernization. Renowned sociologist, Steve Bruce, elaborates the secularization paradigm and defends it against a wide variety of recent attempts at rebuttal and refutation. Using the best available statistical and qualitative evidence Bruce considers the implications for the secularization paradigm of the extent to which new religious movements or New Age spiritualities are replacing religion; changes in the nature and power of folk religion and superstition; rational choice alternatives to the secularization paradigm; the popularity and political influence of religion in the USA; religious change in the developing world; reactions to Islam in Europe; and the effects of recent controversies over the public place of religion. Bruce presents a robust defence of the secularization paradigm, clarifying its arguments for the benefit of all sides of the debate.

本书以过去五十年台湾的历史研究为主要研究对象，但其重点则在描述和分析历史意识的变化。作者所关心的范围，可以说是既广又狭。广的地方在于，本书不但叙述了历史研究在台湾的发展和变化，同时也涉及其它与史学相关的领域，特别是台湾文学界在构造台湾历史意识上所表现出的努力。对于历史研究之社会影响，作者也通过对历史教科书的分析，而有所描述。狭的方面则是，本书虽然是一本台湾史学史，以在台湾工作的史家的作品为基本分析素材，但作者并无意对台湾史学在各个方面的成就，作一总体评述。作者的写作宗旨，只是想对台湾史学在二十世纪下半叶的变化发展，从一个外部观察者的角度，作一鸟瞰，希望能指出其发展的渊源、变化之原因和未来之趋向。
