Abstract
This essay engages with Daniel Laqua's book Activism across Borders since 1870: Causes, Campaigns and Conflicts in and beyond Europe (London, 2023) from the perspective of a historian of both humanitarianism and youth. This short reflection therefore focuses primarily on the book's engagement with the topic of humanitarianism, before discussing an understated, albeit important, cross-cutting theme of the book: the significance of youth in transnational activism. It highlights a number of features of Laqua's book, for instance the merits of adopting a broad chronological approach. At the same time, the essay also uses the space to present a number of reflections on activism, from questions about the generational appeal of particular causes to the way in which particular figures might spark activism. It ends with some thoughts about the source base used to write such histories of activism.
这篇文章从人道主义和青年历史学家的角度，对丹尼尔-拉夸的著作《1870 年以来的跨界行动主义》（Activism across Borders since 1870：一书（伦敦，2023 年）。因此，这篇简短的思考主要侧重于该书对人道主义主题的探讨，然后再讨论该书中一个被低估但却重要的横向主题：青年在跨国激进主义中的意义。文章强调了拉夸这本书的一些特点，例如采用宽泛的时间顺序方法的优点。同时，文章还利用篇幅提出了一些对激进主义的思考，从特定事业的代际吸引力问题到特定人物可能引发激进主义的方式。文章最后对编写这类激进主义历史所使用的资料来源基础进行了一些思考。
