略述美国的中国马克思主义史学研究

A Brief Account of the Studies on Chinese Marxist historiography in United States

创立于20世纪20年代的中国马克思主义史学,已经走过了90年的风雨历程,它是如何一步步地成长壮大,其成就如何,其命运又将怎样,尤其是如何认识和评价中国马克思主义史学,这些不仅是中国学人所重视的问题,同样也为美国学人所关注。美国学人对于中国马克思主义史学的关注始于20世纪50年代,到今天亦有近半个世纪。在这近半个世纪里,美国学人不仅致力于究明中国马克思主义史学发展的概况,还着力于探讨包括马克思主义唯物史观理论、亚细亚生产方式理论、农民战争问题理论在内的中国马克思主义史学理论和历史观。对于正致力于进一步加强和推进中国马克思主义史学及其理论建设的我们而言,美国学者对中国马克思主义史学的批判、对其价值的正视褒扬以及对中国学者运用马克思主义探究中国历史的评论,不失为我们提供了有益的参考与借鉴。
