流动的社区抑或是异质的边疆？——评蒋楠《流动的社区：宋元以来泉州湾的地域社会与海外拓展》

张磊屏

摘要：该书是一部关于泉州湾长时段区域发展的个案研究。全文分为七章，主要论述了早期泉州平原的开发，宋元市舶司制度建立、明清时代的政治控制对泉州湾社会的影响，以及泉州湾本土社会发展起来的家族、地域联盟为大航海时代的海外贸易奠定了良好的社会组织基础并最终完成了近现代国家建设和侨乡社会的转变。该专著凸显了区域史的“特殊性”“异质性”，并能通过全球视野避免区域研究踏入“民族国家”“中国中心论”“欧洲中心论”范式。然而，泉州湾辐射海外社会发展的逆向影响没有在该书中体现出来，特别是非中文资料使用不足，这使读者无法知道泉州湾社区在海外辐射的具体影响以及细节。但瑕不掩瑜，该书仍然是一部力作，展示了时空相对完整、细节丰富的泉州地区发展景况。

The Evolving Communities or A Frontier Distinct from the Main Society?——Book Review on The Evolving Community: Regional Society and Overseas Expansion of Quanzhou Bay Area since the Song and Yuan Dynasties

Zhang Leiping

Abstract: The book is a case study of regional development of Quanzhou Bay in the long period of time. The research includes seven parts. Firstly, the development of Quanzhou plain in the early stage, the establishment of Shi Bo Si in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the influence of political control in the Ming and Qing Dynasties on Quanzhou Bay society are discussed. Secondly, the family and regional alliance based on the local society of Quanzhou Bay has laid a good organizational and social foundation for overseas trade in the coming era of great naviga-tion. Finally, based on all above, the construction of Quanzhou society in modern time and the changes of overseas Chinese societies are completed. Through the research on the development of Quanzhou Bay, the scholarly monograph highlights the "particularity" and "heterogeneity" of regional history, and avoids regional research from stepping into the paradigm of "Nation - State", "China centrism"and "Europe centrism" from a global perspective. However, the specific impacts of Quanzhou society on the development of overseas communities are not known.Besides, non - Chinese historical materials are used less, especially the materials about overseas communities. On the whole, the book is still an excellent piece of work on the regional history of Quanzhou, which provides readers with a relatively complete view in terms of time and space and rich details of the development in Quanzhou.
