Leta Hong Fincher is a journalist and scholar who has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, Ms. Magazine, the BBC and CNN. She is the author of Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China.
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.
##中規中矩,麵嚮「局外人」普及讀物。要不是這本書,我差點兒把2017年的事都忘到腦後瞭。非要說這本書有什麼特彆之處,或許就是女權主義者應該斷瞭指望老大哥幫你平權的念頭——然而「老大哥靠不住」難道不是常識麼?
評分##說是中國女權主義的覺醒,然而通篇講來講去就是五姐妹。敘事翻來覆去,重復囉嗦,個人感情色彩太濃,有損閱讀體驗,章節之間關係不強,理論論證站不住腳,精衛填海和鞦瑾的故事聯係太牽強,數據來源也模模糊糊。除瞭五姐妹的采訪,和人民日報的幾篇文章,作者似乎沒有任何其他個人貢獻瞭。
