法國歷史學家魏簡(Sebastian Veg)在他的書中描述了這些21世紀的非專業活動人士。魏簡展示了天安門事件如何導致了一個歷史性的裂痕。在中國的各朝各代以及共產黨執政的頭40年，知識分子對自己的定義總是相對於國家的，雖然他們有時勇敢地反對國家，但總是以某種方式依存於國家。民間歷史學家沒有那麼精英主義。他們自己掙錢養活自己，或受益於獨立的智庫或資助者，他們寫地方上的故事或特定主題的文章：農民工、毛澤東時代的受害者、宗教迫害的對象、被剝奪了土地的農民——用已故作家王小波的話，他們寫的是「沉默的大多數」。


Who are the new Chinese intellectuals? In the wake of the crackdown on the 1989 democracy movement and the rapid marketization of the 1990s, a novel type of grassroots intellectual emerged. Instead of harking back to the traditional role of the literati or pronouncing on democracy and modernity like 1980s public intellectuals, they derive legitimacy from their work with the vulnerable and the marginalized, often proclaiming their independence with a heavy dose of anti-elitist rhetoric. They are proudly minjian-unofficial, unaffiliated, and among the people. In this book, Sebastian Veg explores the rise of minjian intellectuals and how they have profoundly transformed China's public culture. An intellectual history of contemporary China, Minjian documents how, amid deep structural shifts, grassroots thinker-activists began to work outside academia or policy institutions in an embryonic public sphere. Veg explores the work of amateur historians who question official accounts, independent documentarians who let ordinary people speak for themselves, and grassroots lawyers and NGO workers who spread practical knowledge. Their interventions are specific rather than universal, with a focus on concrete problems among disenfranchised populations such as victims of Maoism, migrant workers and others without residence permits, and petitioners. Drawing on careful analysis of public texts by grassroots intellectuals and the networks and publics among which they circulate, Minjian is a groundbreaking transdisciplinary exploration of crucial trends developing under the surface of contemporary Chinese society.
