A good premier into some of the new scholarship and revisionist school of thought. A good read for anyone well versed with traditional schools of Chinese history. Definitely not complete, and at points does not explain convincingly why it rejects one theory (usually the traditional schools of thought) in favor of another. Maybe too reliant on a few non-traditional sources (archeology, literature, visual arts). ( ) I had to give up the book. I just don't have a good track record with history and other non-fiction books. I enjoyed it at first, but realized it was too much of a textbook. I just wanted a brief overview of pre-modern Chinese history. I wasn't ready for prolific detail! I should have known better, but I tried to read it. If you're used to reading history books, this may not be a problem for you. But if like me, you're not, look elsewhere for an introduction. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Departing from the dynastic structure typical of other histories, Valerie Hansen charts the broad social changes that transcend the artificial chronological boundaries of dynasties, enriching her narrative with discussions of everyday life in the distant past. Peopling the pages are nobles, peasants, women, students, writers, and rebels--all offering their own distinct and colorful perspective. Illuminating the many ways in which Chinese society has been influenced by foreign cultures, The Open Empire depicts China as a country with a dynamic, open history.
