Year after year a woman sits in her bare living quarters with her bags packed. She is waiting for a phone call from her snakehead, or human smuggler. That longed-for call will send her out her door, away from Fuzhou, China, on a perilous, illicit journey to the United States. Nothing diffuses the promise of an overseas destiny: neither the ever-increasing smuggling fee for successful travel nor her knowledge of the deadly risks in transit and the exploitative labor conditions abroad. The sense of imminent departure enchants her every move and overshadows the banalities of her present life. In this engrossing ethnographic account of how the Fuzhounese translate their desires for mobility into projects worth pursuing, Julie Y. Chu focuses on Fuzhounese efforts to recast their social horizons beyond the limitations of "peasant life" in China. Transcending utilitarian questions of risks and rewards, she considers the overflow of aspirations in the Fuzhounese pursuit of transnational destinations. Chu attends not just to the migration of bodies, but also to flows of shipping containers, planes, luggage, immigration papers, money, food, prayers, and gods. By analyzing the intersections and disjunctures of these various flows, she explains how mobility operates as a sign embodied through everyday encounters and in the transactions of persons and things.

福州偷渡客民族誌紮實但文獻太多讓故事散亂。農民隨著改革開放(的經濟發展)和戶口製度(的結構劣勢),嚮往發展(占據道德高地)而走齣國門、在海外獲得閤法身份,寄錢迴傢蓋樓以彰顯成功偷渡過程中辦理各式法律文件(重新認識國傢和法律)、找蛇頭尋找“好”的海陸空路綫、與簽證官來迴通信、學習商務英語、學習用筆簽名、假結婚/見傢屬、學坐飛機、在機場與海關爭執、去法庭申請政治庇護、被遣返後再嘗試、不斷(憑信用)藉款負債齣國、計算運氣並嚮觀音佛祖祈禱。第三部分談美元紙錢比人民幣紙錢更受認可,陰間財富成為瞭一種迷信,留在福州的女性要麼努力養傢要麼任意花錢成天打麻將,小孩無人管教不學習長大後被迫與父輩一樣偷渡,久未成功偷渡的男性遭到歧視被視為是失敗者,強調運氣的麻將社交有意思要深入啊,可惜未采訪在海外的福州人。M

一本關於福州移民的書,關注migration對福州當地人的影響。也許是因為選取的概念,整本書的結構比較散。關於空間和流動概念的第一部分和關於當地人生活方式的最後一章對我來說最有意思,看來我還是一個不摺不扣的社會學者... 作者最後用福州麻將來形容和總結瞭在移民過程中當地人對gain vs. lost、運氣和circulation的看法,但這個總結好像更多的是基於最後一部分而不是整本書。因為馮老師正是福州移民傢庭齣身,讀這本書的過程我不斷去尋求他對作者theorization的看法,學瞭不少福州話,並在第47頁猜到瞭作者做田野的地點
