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
因為課程,第一次讀瞭ethnography。雖然封麵很醜,但長達十多年的longitudinal project還是很厲害。最無法想通的問題是,為啥在大連啊……
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。
評分華裔美國學者Vanessa Fong憑藉中英雙語優勢,曆時十年,對20世紀初留學海外或歸國的中國人進行訪談和參與式觀察,形成這樣一本現實、接地氣而又融入深刻的國際視野的民族誌筆記。發達國傢作為Paradise在旅居者的心目中被重新定義,一些人甚至將中國視為Lost paradise。推薦所有具有留學或移民想法的人看,即使不是,也許幾十年後當你的小孩麵臨這個問題的時候,你可以看一看
評分讀得我一把辛酸淚啊。對於作者長期追蹤的能力十分佩服,但是對於定性定量方法的結閤使用達到的實際效果持保留態度。並且對於寫作中理論的應用也不太懂。似乎隻講到瞭三種公民身份以及新自由主義背景。在後麵幾章中基本很少涉及理論瞭。
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!
