内容简介
······

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.

是本好书。

评论说得对,确实是在很主观(很外宾)地讲故事完全不学术,并没有看到想要看到的深刻分析……(倒是突然意识到这个话题确实很敏感处境确实很严峻……

这是一本值得读一读的书,感谢这位作者的发声

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
