具体描述
Benedict Anderson was Aaron L. Binenkorp Professor of International Studies Emeritus at Cornell University. He was editor of the journal Indonesia and author of Java in a Time of Revolution, The Spectre of Comparisons: Nationalism, Southeast Asia, and the World and Imagined Communities.
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.
用户评价
##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##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 “跃出椰壳碗下的青蛙” 在泰国和印度尼西亚有一种比喻，一只青蛙被扣在椰壳碗下面。“静静地坐在椰壳下，青蛙很快就开始觉得椰壳碗圈起了整个宇宙。”“对于这个印象的道德判断是青蛙无缘无故地心胸狭隘、迂腐守旧、深居简出和自我满足。就我而言，我在任何地方都无法久居到安...

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##读这本书是因为现在“民族主义”又在全世界蔓延，各国为自己的利益打着“民族主义”的旗号走向街头。“民族主义”已经使我们陷入狭隘的思维模式，限制我们许多人的观点，容易使我们把问题简单化，走向极端。 川普利用“民族主义”，让美国再次强大起来，他利用大部分美国白人的...
