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.
##要深度没深度,要文笔没文笔。。。这个叙述方式真的不吸引人,还不如报纸专栏啊。。。
评分##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##作为Journalism来看1)文笔太差 2)夹杂了很多个人情感和观点;没有理论架构和仔细的论证也不能当作学术作品来看……最接近的文体可能是一篇超长op-ed?不伦不类的评价起来真是太尴尬了,也许可以给半颗感情星表示女权的主题很重要。。。
评分##非常极其一般。可以肯定的是记录了近几年年轻一代特别是五姐妹的运动细节。但是到了介绍历史背景深入论述的部分,基本就是大型文献综述,语言读起来非常不顺,作者自己的知识贡献很有限
评分##某些单方面决定以评价学术专著的标准来鸡蛋里挑骨头的用户,实际上是无事找茬,暴露了基于立场和偏见而非基于事实和公正的马脚
评分##不说书。作者在推上节奏带得飞起,容不得别人半点质疑,动不动就号召follower举报质疑者,乱扣帽子。整个一恶霸。种种迹象表明是个轮子。

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.
评分##是本好书。
