A robust trade in human lives thrived throughout North China during the late Qing and Republican periods. Whether to acquire servants, slaves, concubines, or children—or dispose of unwanted household members—families at all levels of society addressed various domestic needs by participating in this market. Sold People brings into focus the complicit dynamic of human trafficking, including the social and legal networks that sustained it. Johanna Ransmeier reveals the extent to which the structure of the Chinese family not only influenced but encouraged the buying and selling of men, women, and children.
For centuries, human trafficking had an ambiguous status in Chinese society. Prohibited in principle during the Qing period, it was nevertheless widely accepted as part of family life, despite the frequent involvement of criminals. In 1910, Qing reformers, hoping to usher China into the community of modern nations, officially abolished the trade. But police and other judicial officials found the new law extremely difficult to enforce. Industrialization, urbanization, and the development of modern transportation systems created a breeding ground for continued commerce in people. The Republican government that came to power after the 1911 revolution similarly struggled to root out the entrenched practice.
Ransmeier draws from untapped archival sources to recreate the lived experience of human trafficking in turn-of-the-century North China. Not always a measure of last resort reserved for times of extreme hardship, the sale of people was a commonplace transaction that built and restructured families as often as it broke them apart.
Johanna S. Ransmeier is Assistant Professor of History and the College at the University of Chicago.
北中国人口贩卖/交易的legal/social history 并与环境史、交通史串联 勾勒清末到民初人口交易图景及其映射出的从中国家庭结构、女性地位、到社会法制的变化 (另 Ransmeier对史料的组织使用很值得仔细分析)
评分transactional family、community network for trafficking; 法律、环境、交通、性别等视角交汇
评分挺好的。写作建构上的多领域交融(法制、社会、环境、交通融会贯通),性别文化在政权易代间的变迁导致家庭结构女性地位的变化,适合与马钊专著同读(一个主动一个被动)——流动性从来都不会是冷门的研究话题
评分参见书评 China Review International: Vol. 23, No. 2, 2016
评分稀见档案的使用无疑是任思梅此书的一大亮点,更细心的发现则是当时所谓人口贩卖实际以交易居多。除了史料,社会史或文化史研究的成败往往取决于作者的专业素养,就像在国内,做医学史的多是医盲,做藏族史的不解佛教,习惯了两点一线的高校师生去“研究”地方社会……
