中文摘要

Nagle 编织了一个引人入胜的叙事,融合了历史研究、法律新闻报道与个人思考。在书中较早处,她写道:"关于真相的斗争之所以如此激烈,是因为权力源自主导性叙事——即塑造公众情感与公共政策的权力"(第2页)。由此,她确立了在我看来是本书核心论点的观点:法律与政治的结果往往与其说取决于法律本身,不如说取决于谁的历史版本占据上风。据 Nagle 所言,"新闻业常被视为历史的初稿"(第218页)。

Abstract

Nagle weaves a compelling narrative that blends historical research, legal journalism, and personal reflection.Early on, she writes, "The fight over truth is so bitter because power flows from the dominant narrative-the power to shape both public sentiment and public policy" (p.2).In doing so, she establishes what I see as the book's key thesis: that legal and political outcomes are often less about law and more about whose version of history prevails.According to Nagle, "Journalism is often thought of as the first draft of history" (p.218).
