The Gender of Memory
What can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group―rural women―at the center of the inquiry? In this book, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of seventy-two elderly women in rural Shaanxi province during the revolutionary decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Interweaving these women’s life histories with insightful analysis, Hershatter shows how Party-state policy became local and personal, and how it affected women’s agricultural work, domestic routines, activism, marriage, childbirth, and parenting―even their notions of virtue and respectability. The women narrate their pasts from the vantage point of the present and highlight their enduring virtues, important achievements, and most deeply harbored grievances. In showing what memories can tell us about gender as an axis of power, difference, and collectivity in 1950s rural China and the present, Hershatter powerfully examines the nature of socialism and how gender figured in its creation.

《折射:当代中国社会变迁研究》从社会学视角介绍和解读了当代中国若干事件和部分社会群体,虽然是学术图书,但作者努力让对当代中国社会变迁和社会结构有兴趣的读者,从中可以得到一些意想不到的收获。书中揭示了20世纪50年代初期遍及华北和华东广大地区的两大谣言,从宏观社会的背景来分析谣言产生的原因;对“大跃进”和“四清”运动作了独到的分析,相信能帮助后人辩证地了解这一特殊历史时期;用比较多的篇幅对社会变迁中的一些特殊群体进行了剖析,如基层右派、四类分子、当代的女工、第一次出生高潮的同龄群、偷渡者等,在社会变革中,正是这些普通人的悲欢离合,写出了真正的历史。
