误判的湖南历史和未误读的“湖南人”在浩渺壮阔的太平洋彼岸,一位年轻的美国学者,有些意外地把眼光聚焦在中国内陆省份之一的湖南,他就是耶鲁大学中国史博士裴士锋(Stephen.R.Platt)先生。他所著的《湖南人与现代中国》一经面世,马上触发了众人对“湖南人”的热议。虽然说,“湖南人”早已是颇具动静的话题,但这次与以往大不相同。 A Misunderstanding of Hunan History and Unreadable “Hunan People” On the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, a young American scholar, some unexpectedly focused his attention on Hunan, one of China’s inland provinces, Chinese Dr. Stephen P.R.Platt.
