Before his 12th birthday, Philip Jia Guo had already lived in six cities spanning three continents, learned three distinctively different languages, and attended seven schools that had almost nothing in common with one another. On the Move traces his global journey to places as drastically dissimilar as his birthplace in South China, a quaint town in Switzerland, the American Deep South, both the poorest and wealthiest neighborhoods of New York City, and an affluent suburb in Southern California. He poignantly describes his struggles to fit in as a perpetual outsider and his feelings of being constantly forced by circumstances beyond his control to adapt to new environments, schools, languages, and cultures. On the Move interweaves candid narratives of this immigrant boy's unique childhood experiences with critical observations of such hotly contested social issues as race, ethnicity, class, religion, child development, peer group relations, immigration, assimilation, and national identity. This book appeals to anybody who is interested in learning more about the experience of being an immigrant and especially its impact on young children.

评分看的父亲翻译的中文版。写了第一代移民儿童的辛苦和内心的变化,但一家三口为了梦想中的美好生活在不同方面一起努力的氛围是充满爱的。不过真的很难共情,毕竟我的童年在浅薄又无聊得多的问题上沉溺也为此痛苦了太久,完全想象不到一种开阔的、广泛吸收又磨练意志的童年是怎么样的
评分PG的移民经历很特别,艰辛大过轻松欢乐,大概跟我小时候搬很多次家一样,他也是很早就直面窘迫,失掉了安全感,常常独自一人,面壁思忖。
评分从小到大,我也是一直换学校,所以,挺能体会作者的心情。anyway,很生动的描写,很喜欢。
评分他是多么的幸运啊!
