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.
##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##断断续续读了好久,最近终于收束了。老头子太有劲,彻底点燃了我对东南亚的热情和兴趣。

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##真心看得一愣一愣。我也要这样进入东南亚!

评分##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
评分##Blend // 目的从不是简化问题,也不是寻求二元的答案 // nationalism和internationalism // 能跳出椰壳碗的青蛙都是幸运的
