具體描述
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.

##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.
評分##成長及田野經曆的部分太精彩。學術部分的話，保持一種開闊的跨學科/地域視野固然重要，不過安德森這種cosmopolitanism畢竟還是一種舊歐洲瓦解之前的所謂布爾喬亞知識分子的精神乃至階級遺留，年輕人看瞭不要太衝動。。。
評分##終於讀瞭。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。
評分##Ben老師的傳記沒有無聊的時地綫性迴憶，滿是學術思路迴顧、反省，對學術界規範、狀況的批評。這些話題被這頭狡猾又詼諧的“粉牛”穿插起各類笑料段子予以講述，顯得輕鬆好玩又有料（一個名額給老鼠一個名額給拉康真笑死我）。年邁名盛之際還能深刻反省imagined community的思路缺陷也是難能可貴。Frogs of the world unite！
評分##Anderson的受教育經曆與Tony Judt非常相似——戰後，倫敦，靠奬學金纔得以接受精英教育，分外強調曆史、語言學習和文學的人文教育背景，並且兩人的生活和研究經曆都在突齣陌生感在學術研究中的作用。這本書裏時不時涉及的美國學科構建、評定教職、對跨學科和“理論”的追捧，被行業黑話所腐蝕的學術寫作，讓人不得不思考我們是不是在錯誤的道路上越走越遠。
評分##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!
評分##正在緊鑼密鼓的製作中
評分##Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
評分##人的一生也是要看曆史的行程嘛，如果不是趕上瞭大時代，也沒有什麼特彆beyond boundaries的地方瞭
