On the eve of International Women’s Day in 2015, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five became a global cause célèbre, with Hillary Clinton speaking out on their behalf and activists inundating social media with #FreetheFive messages. But the Five are only symbols of a much larger feminist movement of civil rights lawyers, labor activists, performance artists, and online warriors prompting an unprecedented awakening among China’s educated, urban women. In Betraying Big Brother, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China’s authoritarian regime today.
Through interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists, Hong Fincher illuminates both the difficulties they face and their “joy of betraying Big Brother,” as one of the Feminist Five wrote of the defiance she felt during her detention. Tracing the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement, and describing how the Communist regime has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles, Betraying Big Brother is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.
##中规中矩,面向「局外人」普及读物。要不是这本书,我差点儿把2017年的事都忘到脑后了。非要说这本书有什么特别之处,或许就是女权主义者应该断了指望老大哥帮你平权的念头——然而「老大哥靠不住」难道不是常识么?
评分##洪理达真的literally打破了我对斯坦福的学术训练能力的幻想,两本书两个极端,但是一致的烂。leftover那本书不加论证地发表了一堆骇人听闻的言论,这本书1-7章全纪实讲故事,没有一丁点理论建构或是分析,讲的还基本是翻微信公众号都差不多能知道的故事,narrative也不咋地。我看斯坦福不行。
评分##说是中国女权主义的觉醒,然而通篇讲来讲去就是五姐妹。叙事翻来覆去,重复啰嗦,个人感情色彩太浓,有损阅读体验,章节之间关系不强,理论论证站不住脚,精卫填海和秋瑾的故事联系太牵强,数据来源也模模糊糊。除了五姐妹的采访,和人民日报的几篇文章,作者似乎没有任何其他个人贡献了。
评分##Her narrative lacks a natural flow, and the book feels choppy. And she obviously has ill feelings toward China. That said, it's a necessary read.
评分##10.6-10.7 好的地方是:梳理记录了2010年之后女权运动的几个重要人物,她们被抓,被审问,逃亡国外的经过,主要围绕15年女权5姐妹写,一直写到2018年的米兔。还包括了人权律师(主要针对女性维权的女律师)的经历,还写到劳工运动,女工维权,教育领导劳工维劝的组织;最后也写到主流流行文化中的女权。不喜欢的地方:肤浅,只是作为记录者值得尊敬,作者的分析就不用看了。ethnographic approach也有很多弊端,也不是特别能认同其中写到的一些人的说法。但总的来说,是非常有意义的一本书,那些在如此黑暗的时代,虽然被迫害,但一直坚持斗争的人们,尤其是女性们,她们真的美丽且强大!姐妹们,战斗早已经开始了!!!
评分##2.5/5 Fincher would benefit if she bothered to hire a few editors for advice, because her writing appears tediously dry and repetitive, often without delving deeper into the 'history side' of the issue, not to mention that the feminism discussed in this book seems somewhat naive and strategically flawed in excluding men from the conversation.
