具体描述
An intellectual memoir by the author of the acclaimed Imagined Communities
Benedict Anderson is one of the leading historians of nationalism and Southeast Asia. His seminal book Imagined Commu-nities has changed the way we think about the reason why people live, die and kill in the name of nation-hood.
Born in China, Anderson spent his childhood in California and Ireland, was educated in England and finally found a home at Cornell University, where he immersed himself in the growing field of Southeast Asian studies. After field work in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, he was banned from Suharto’s Indonesia for disputing the legitimacy of the 1965 coup. In his memoir, he brings to life the intellectual formation of a life spent open to the world, resisting the easy comforts of imagined homes: the joys of learning languages; the importance of field work; the influence of the New Left upon global think-ing; and the satisfactions of teaching.

##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
评分##Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
评分##Frog under coconut shell is a strong metaphor indicating the limited horizon formed by one's upbringing,only by efforts of endless endeavor to develop habits of observation and comparison and keeping in mind that our culture is not superior or inferior,could one understand the freedom built by less prejudiced thinking.
评分##Insightful perspectives about interdisciplinary studies and academic environments from the 1950s of Europe and USA with interesting anecdotes. Loved to see the Southeast Asia through his eyes. An enjoyable read. Last but not the least, frogs of the world unite!
评分##Anderson的受教育经历与Tony Judt非常相似——战后，伦敦，靠奖学金才得以接受精英教育，分外强调历史、语言学习和文学的人文教育背景，并且两人的生活和研究经历都在突出陌生感在学术研究中的作用。这本书里时不时涉及的美国学科构建、评定教职、对跨学科和“理论”的追捧，被行业黑话所腐蚀的学术写作，让人不得不思考我们是不是在错误的道路上越走越远。
评分##Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
评分##終於讀了。多謝友鄰贈書！任性吐槽也好，循循善誘也好，說到底這是一段太有時代感的人生。區域研究早已今非昔比。
评分##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
评分##1.好看可读性强，长知识八卦。想起《摩洛哥田野作业》，但本尼迪克特·安德森的研究并非人类学角度的，而着重于社会体系，民族认同。 2.欧洲中心。 3.作家本人及其家族可谓贵族加传奇了兄弟Gary Anderson走的也是伊顿牛剑路线，虽然方向不一样，都是大学者。 4.回忆录包括个人和研究环境。研究环境我认为是最有价值的一部分。对东南亚研究的开始基于什么理由，冷战结束后对发展方向，彼时的局限性在哪。 5.frog的隐喻：坐井观天。 6.他的《想象的共同体》不好翻译，因为他写作时是有一个debate对象的：the UKintelligentsia。因此文中有很多英语母语人士能理解的段子，作为外国人不好理解也翻译不出的地方。
