A striking first-person account of the Cultural Revolution in Inner Mongolia, embedded in a close examination of the historical evidence on China’s minority nationality policies to the present. 本书是对内蒙文革第一人称的惊人叙述,同时带有对迄今为止中国民族政策及史料的审慎考查。 

During the Great Leap Forward, as hundreds of thousands of Chinese famine refugees headed to Inner Mongolia, Cheng Tiejun arrived in 1959 as a middle school student. In 1966, when the PRC plunged into the Cultural Revolution, he joined the Red Guards just as Inner Mongolia’s longtime leader, Ulanhu, was purged. With the military in control, and with deepening conflict with the Soviet Union and its ally Mongolia on the border, Mongols were accused of being nationalists and traitors. A pogrom followed, taking more than 16,000 Mongol lives, the heaviest toll anywhere in China. 

大跃进期间,数十万中国饥民涌向内蒙古,其中包括中学生程铁军,于1959年抵达。 1966 年,当中国陷入文化大革命,内蒙古的长期领导人乌兰夫遭受清洗时,程铁军加入红卫兵。随着军管,以及与苏联及其盟友外蒙古在边境地区冲突加深,蒙古人被指责为民族主义分子和叛徒。大屠杀接踵而至,夺去 16,000 多名蒙古人的生命,是中国伤亡人数最多的地方。

At the heart of this book are Cheng’s first-person recollections of his experiences as a rebel. These are complemented by a close examination of the documentary record of the era from the three coauthors. The final chapter offers a theoretical framework for Inner Mongolia’s repression. The repression’s goal, the authors show, was not to destroy the Mongols as a people or as a culture—it was not a genocide. It was, however, a “politicide,” an attempt to break the will of a nationality to exercise leadership of their autonomous region. This unusual narrative provides urgently needed primary source material to understand the events of the Cultural Revolution, while also  offering a novel explanation of contemporary Chinese minority politics involving the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Mongols.

本书的核心,是程铁军对自己作为造反派的第一人称回忆。三位作者对那个时代的文献记录进行了仔细审核,并补充丰富。最后一章为内蒙古的镇压提供了理论框架。作者认为,镇压的目的不是摧毁蒙古人作为一个民族或一种文化的存在 ——因而,它不是民族灭绝,而是一种“政治灭绝”,即对一个官方承认的自治民族希望按自己意志行使自治权,予以阻止破坏。本书不同寻常的叙述,为我们理解文化大革命,提供了急需的原始资料。同时,也对涉及维族、藏族和蒙族的当代中国民族政策,提供了新诠释。

附:三位中国问题专家的书评摘要:

Comments of 3 leading China Research scholars:

“Inner Mongolia witnessed the most extreme brutalities of the Cultural Revolution, but the authors go beyond just narrating these horrific events to trace the cruelty to an aim of ‘politicide’. A grim and timely reminder.” — Christopher Pratt Atwood, University of Pennsylvania  

“内蒙古见证了文化大革命中最极端的暴行,但作者不只是叙述这些可怕事件,而是将暴行追溯至‘政治灭绝’的目的。一个严峻而及时的提醒。” —— 宾州大学  克里斯托弗. 普赖特. 艾特伍德

“An eye-opening, heartrending eyewitness account of the atrocities committed against the Mongols by the Communist Party-state. Unforgettable reading and all too pertinent to our times.”— Peter C. Perdue, Yale University, author of China Marches West  

“令人大开眼界、使人心碎的见证者,讲述了共产中国对蒙古人犯下的暴行。令人难忘的阅读,与我们时代的关系太紧密了。”——耶鲁大学  彼得·珀杜,《中国西征》作者

 

 “Although scholars are increasingly considering and assessing issues of colonialism in China’s working out of its nationality strategies, such work has rarely been carried out at this level of detail and analysis. With its academic depth and the sophistication of its authors’ argument and research, A Chinese Rebel beyond the Great Wall will be groundbreaking in many ways.”  — Robert Barnett, SOAS, University of London 

“尽管学者们正在越来越多地思考和评估,中国在制定民族战略时的殖民主义问题,但是,他们的研究工作,很少能达到本书如此详尽的程度,以及如此高的分析水平。凭借作者的学术造诣以及论证和研究的深入细致,我相信《塞外的汉族造反派》一书,将在许多方面具有开创性。”  —— 伦敦大学亚非学院 罗伯特. 巴奈特
