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.

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genuine,funny,embarrassing,smart,and definitely sociological. as a 'doemstic'immigran,i can relate to the story in many levels.
评分看完《the PHD grind》后又看了这本。从了解华裔年轻一代移民的经历和想法这一角度看,这本书很有价值。值得一提的是,他妈妈就是在UCLA的教授,这本书是她讲的《chinese immigrate》这门课的推荐阅读。
评分小移民的经历,不错!
