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
寫的挺好的呀。一開始對Vanessa不感興趣,後來隻讀每一章節的conclusion,她的學術直覺是很好的。再去細看材料的鋪陳,明朗多瞭。
評分2015年讀完的第一本書!不知道10年前大連留學生們no university degree, no developed country permanent residency rights and no good career in China or abroad是否是當時的普遍情況。。雖然作者是用生命在做田野,但好像並沒有和留學生們長期共同生活的經曆。
評分讀的時候心情還蠻復雜,留學的前輩們當時過的生活和現在的留學生幾乎天差地彆瞭。我們吃的苦少瞭但沒有變的是又自卑又驕傲的愛國情懷和在neoliberal global system想要想上爬的野心。話說巧的是寫這本書的教授是我學術指導的哈佛同學,並在我們學校附近的一個文理學院教人類學。立一個小flag在畢業之前一定要上到她的課!

評分關於filial nationalism和“外國”的討論還是挺有意思的,其他部分很難說是齣彩吧。另外時效性真的是中國研究的一大問題,這本書齣版的時候內容已經明顯過時瞭…
