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 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.

评分此书所写的“椰壳碗”形同我们常说的“井底之蛙”的井,都是在描述一种囿于原地、不思进取的状态的。相对的,作者本尼迪克特·安德森于书中恰恰描写的就是他走出“椰壳碗”之外,所遇见的更加广阔的人生,不仅是地域,还有意识形态。 作者自叙平生经历,有几分回忆录的样子,但...
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
评分真人生偶像。
