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.

##Benedict Anderson shows that a real internationalist should respect cultural diversity and minority rights. 各美其美，天下大同。
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
评分##Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
评分我恨不得给10颗星！老头是真正达到了从心所欲不逾矩啊。全是段子，可是段子里也全是一生的卓见。又是一个发现了，然后痛心疾首已经真正错过的老先生。

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##成长及田野经历的部分太精彩。学术部分的话，保持一种开阔的跨学科/地域视野固然重要，不过安德森这种cosmopolitanism毕竟还是一种旧欧洲瓦解之前的所谓布尔乔亚知识分子的精神乃至阶级遗留，年轻人看了不要太冲动。。。
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##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.
