具體描述
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.

##"...How to use a language to make things so remote also frightening, tragic and understandable."
評分##Insightful perspectives about interdisciplinary studies and academic environments from the 1950s of Europe and USA with interesting anecdotes. Loved to see the Southeast Asia through his eyes. An enjoyable read. Last but not the least, frogs of the world unite!
評分##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.
評分##1.好看可讀性強，長知識八卦。想起《摩洛哥田野作業》，但本尼迪剋特·安德森的研究並非人類學角度的，而著重於社會體係，民族認同。 2.歐洲中心。 3.作傢本人及其傢族可謂貴族加傳奇瞭兄弟Gary Anderson走的也是伊頓牛劍路綫，雖然方嚮不一樣，都是大學者。 4.迴憶錄包括個人和研究環境。研究環境我認為是最有價值的一部分。對東南亞研究的開始基於什麼理由，冷戰結束後對發展方嚮，彼時的局限性在哪。 5.frog的隱喻：坐井觀天。 6.他的《想象的共同體》不好翻譯，因為他寫作時是有一個debate對象的：the UKintelligentsia。因此文中有很多英語母語人士能理解的段子，作為外國人不好理解也翻譯不齣的地方。
評分##Anderson的受教育經曆與Tony Judt非常相似——戰後，倫敦，靠奬學金纔得以接受精英教育，分外強調曆史、語言學習和文學的人文教育背景，並且兩人的生活和研究經曆都在突齣陌生感在學術研究中的作用。這本書裏時不時涉及的美國學科構建、評定教職、對跨學科和“理論”的追捧，被行業黑話所腐蝕的學術寫作，讓人不得不思考我們是不是在錯誤的道路上越走越遠。

評分我恨不得給10顆星！老頭是真正達到瞭從心所欲不逾矩啊。全是段子，可是段子裏也全是一生的卓見。又是一個發現瞭，然後痛心疾首已經真正錯過的老先生。

評分##真人生偶像。
