In this uniquely interdisciplinary work, Lisa Lowe examines the relationships between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries, exploring the links between colonialism, slavery, imperial trades and Western liberalism. Reading across archives, canons, and continents, Lowe connects the liberal narrative of freedom overcoming slavery to the expansion of Anglo-American empire, observing that abstract promises of freedom often obscure their embeddedness within colonial conditions. Race and social difference, Lowe contends, are enduring remainders of colonial processes through which “the human” is universalized and “freed” by liberal forms, while the peoples who create the conditions of possibility for that freedom are assimilated or forgotten. Analyzing the archive of liberalism alongside the colonial state archives from which it has been separated, Lowe offers new methods for interpreting the past, examining events well documented in archives, and those matters absent, whether actively suppressed or merely deemed insignificant. Lowe invents a mode of reading intimately, which defies accepted national boundaries and disrupts given chronologies, complicating our conceptions of history, politics, economics, and culture, and ultimately, knowledge itself.
Lisa Lowe is Samuel Knight Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. Prior to joining Yale, she taught at the University of California, San Diego and Tufts University. She began as a scholar of comparative literature, and her work has focused on literatures and cultures of encounter that emerge from histories of colonialism, immigration, capitalism, and globalization. She is known especially for work on French and British colonialisms and postcolonial literature, Asian immigration and Asian American studies, race and liberalism, and comparative global humanities.
雖然宏觀敘述有bug但越來越喜歡以全球角度寫曆史的~liberal humanism真是無力吐槽瞭用俗話就是打著人道主義的光環乾著苟且並裝逼的勾當~但我也迷糊瞭 不知道這個yet to come的future到底該是什麼樣的 雖然沒有提供該怎樣的路徑 但有理有據的說齣來不該怎樣也算添磚加瓦瞭吧~Lisa Lowe神壇光環不減
評分idea很好,綫索的發展和闡述一般(說實在的我也沒咋讀懂);聽說最早是一篇論文,好論文是可以寫成書的…
評分其實曆史學傢早都說過瞭
評分通過對帝國殖民史(主要來源是英帝國檔案)的考察,指齣自由主義和殖民主義之間看似矛盾實則內在勾連緊密的關係。西歐追求的自由理性的另一麵是亞非地區人民的“下等”和被奴役。印象深刻的例子包括洛剋的“自然狀態”和對私有財産權的論述影射的是“新世界”的印第安人,密爾的“自由”建立在公民教育和集體社會之上而某些地區的人民顯然是“未準備好的”因而隻能處於從屬地位(很好奇此處作者援引的葛蘭西的subaltern概念的具體內涵),殖民地的“人”的分層所形成的“種族”概念,還有19世紀從奴隸製到強製雇傭勞動的政策轉化。這些都特彆好。隻是整本書冗言略多。
