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.

評分本文系戴锦华为《椰壳碗外的人生》一书所撰序言 就这样,本尼迪克特·安德森的自传《椰壳碗外的人生》中文版将与读者相遇。捧读它的,也许是那些长久以来热爱着《想象的共同体——民族主义的起源与散布》的几个代际的学者们,也许是更多的渴望穿过历史的罅隙与裂谷,望向以生命...
評分毫无疑问,能够在思想与学术的游牧经历中成长,这是很令人羡慕的青春命运。著名经济学家阿尔伯特·赫希曼(Albert Otto Hirschman)少年时代以黑格尔哲学和德国左翼社会主义运动为起点,经常作为抵抗组织的秘密信使往返于巴黎和意大利之间,在夜行火车上,他的手提箱里面装着孟...
斷斷續續讀瞭好久,最近終於收束瞭。老頭子太有勁,徹底點燃瞭我對東南亞的熱情和興趣。
评分充滿深刻的感悟。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。
评分Need a cosmopolitan Brit to divert me at the moment.
评分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.
评分"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
