一个了不起的铺路架桥者——杨生茂教授与中国美国史学科建设

Professor Yang Shengmao and the Chinese Understanding of the American History

杨生茂教授是中国美国史学科的创建者之一,也是中国世界近代史研究领域中一位成就斐然的学者。不论是作为学术的组织者,还是史学教育家,不论是作为微观的研究者,还是宏观的思考者,杨生茂教授的学术工作都促进了中国美国史学科的建设,增进了中国人对美国历史与文化的理解。他所提出的问题,他所研究的课题,他所尝试过的方法,他所追求的理想以及他所投身的事业,已经深深地影响了这一学科的后来人,并转化为中国美国史研究的宝贵财富。

Prof. Yang is one of the few gatekeepers of the American history research in China.Three generations of the Chinese students of American history have benefited greatly from his research, writings,teaching and thinking on American history. The topics he pioneered, the approaches he explored, the questions he asked,the ideals he pursued, the career he committed, all will become a lasting legacy on the Chinese scholarship on American history studies and will be transferred as a precious heritage of the Chinese historiography.
