In 2004, Vanessa Fong offered a groundbreaking ethnographic exploration of the social, economic, and psychological development of children born since China's one-child policy was introduced in 1979. Her book Only Hope left readers with a picture of stressed, ambitious adolescents for whom elite status was the ultimate goal, though relatively few were in a position to achieve it.
In Paradise Redefined, Fong tracks the experiences of many in her initial cohort of Chinese only-children—now college-age—as they study abroad in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and Singapore. While earning a prestigious college education in China is the main path to elite status, study abroad provides an alternative channel by offering a particularly flexible "developed world" citizenship. This flexible citizenship promises the potential for greater happiness and freedom afforded by transnational mobility, but also brings with it unexpected suffering, ambivalence, and disappointment. Paradise Redefined offers insights into China's globalization by examining the expectations and experiences that affect how various Chinese students make decisions about studying abroad, staying abroad, immigration, and returning home.
"Vanessa Fong has made a remarkable contribution by her meticulous following of a generation of Chinese single children through their educational careers, first at home and now abroad. The impact of this generation on the world will be immense, and this is a key window on how their lives are unfolding."—Alan Smart, University of Calgary
"From Only Hope to Paradise Redefined, Fong's unique, longitudinal research offers an invaluable key to better understand the singleton generation in China who have come of age in the first decade of the 21st century, and will to a great extent determine the future of the most populous country on earth."—Yunxiang Yan, University of California, Los Angeles
"With Paradise Redefined,Vanessa Fong has produced another well-researched and innovative account.Those familiar with Only Hope will welcome this impressive transnational sequel, and a wider audience of globalization and migration scholars, educators, policy makers, and China scholars will find it a timely, authoritative, and unique source of insight into Chinese students abroad."—Nicole Constable, University of Pittsburgh
因为课程,第一次读了ethnography。虽然封面很丑,但长达十多年的longitudinal project还是很厉害。最无法想通的问题是,为啥在大连啊……
评分读得我一把辛酸泪啊。对于作者长期追踪的能力十分佩服,但是对于定性定量方法的结合使用达到的实际效果持保留态度。并且对于写作中理论的应用也不太懂。似乎只讲到了三种公民身份以及新自由主义背景。在后面几章中基本很少涉及理论了。
评分关于filial nationalism和“外国”的讨论还是挺有意思的,其他部分很难说是出彩吧。另外时效性真的是中国研究的一大问题,这本书出版的时候内容已经明显过时了…
评分读的时候心情还蛮复杂,留学的前辈们当时过的生活和现在的留学生几乎天差地别了。我们吃的苦少了但没有变的是又自卑又骄傲的爱国情怀和在neoliberal global system想要想上爬的野心。话说巧的是写这本书的教授是我学术指导的哈佛同学,并在我们学校附近的一个文理学院教人类学。立一个小flag在毕业之前一定要上到她的课!
评分俺会告诉乃,乃只花了3小时就翻完了嘛?俺会告诉乃,俺觉得这书不和俺的胃口么?
