第二部分进一步阅读书目(第5/5页)
Donald L.Philippi,tr.,Kojiki(Tokyo,1968)使日本古代重要史料可以得到。Murasaki Shikibu,The Tale of Genji,tr.Arthur Waley(Boston,1935),是平安时代文化的最佳导论。下列几部著作对研究前现代日本有用:Ivan Morris,The World of the Shining Prince(New York,1964);Jeffrey Mass,Warrior Government in Early Medieval Japan:A Study of the Kamakura Bakufu,Shugo and Jito(New Haven,1974);和Alfrede Bloom,Shinrans Gospel of Pure Grace(Tucson,1965)。
非洲。Roland Oliver and John D.Fage,A Short History of Africa(Penguin,1962)现在是标准著作,但是Philip D.Curtin,African History(Boston,1978)给以前的著作带来了挑战。有趣的区域性论述包括:Zoё Marsh and G.W.Kingsnorth,An Introduction to the History of East Africa,2nd ed.(Cambridge,1961);John D.Fage, An Introduction to the History of West Africa,2nd ed.(Cambridge,1960);E.W.Bovill,Caravans of the Old Sahara:An Introduction to the History of theWestern Sudan(London,1933);J.Spence Trimingham,A History of Islam in West Africa(London,1962);A.H.M.Jones and Elizabeth Monroe,A History of Abyssinia(Oxford,1935;reissued as A History of Ethiopia,1955);和Nehemia Lebtzion,Ancient Ghana and Mali(New York,1973)。Roland Oliver,ed.,The Cambridge History of Africa,III:from c.1500 to c.1600 (Cambridge,1977)反映了该主题现行学术动态。
美洲。Gorden R.Willey,New World Prehistory,Smithonian Institution Report for 1960(Washington,D.C.,1961)和H.E.Driver,ed.,The Americas on the Eve of Discovery(Englewood Cliffs,N.J.,1964),是较好的介绍美洲印第安人的著作。G.H.S.Bushnell,Peru,rev.ed.(New York,1963);J.Eric S.Thompson,The Rise and Fall of Maya Civilization(Norman,Okla.,1954);G.C.Valliant,The Aztecs of Mexico(Penguin,1950);和Friderich Katz,The Ancient American Civilizations(New York,1972),也非常有用。关于有争议的哥伦布之前与新大陆的跨太平洋联系问题,参见M.W.Smith为美国人类学会的Memoir No.9(1953)撰写的Asia and North America:Trans-Pacific Contacts, 和Andrew Sharp,Ancient Voyagers in the Pacific(Wellington,N.Z.,1956)。
