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.

評分##Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
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##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##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##正在緊鑼密鼓的製作中
評分##充滿深刻的感悟。真正有誌於學者應該打破各種邊界,沉迷在自己的小殼裏可能舒服,但一定可鄙。
評分##真人生偶像。
