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.

充满深刻的感悟。真正有志于学者应该打破各种边界，沉迷在自己的小壳里可能舒服，但一定可鄙。

筆調幽默從容，經常讀到哈哈大笑。印象最深刻的是作者為了作印尼研究學習爪哇語、荷蘭語；又在因為被禁止入境印尼改做泰國研究時學起泰語，這樣的人什麼研究做不好！他學語言的方式很值得學習：找一本書，加一本字典，邊讀邊查，整本書精讀下來，語言的讀寫也掌握得七七八八了。作者學荷蘭語有一點“便利”，是他在伊頓讀書打下的拉丁文基礎。由此也啓發了我，在學羅曼語言之前或同時，可以學學拉丁文，這樣或許更有助於系統、有邏... 筆調幽默從容，經常讀到哈哈大笑。印象最深刻的是作者為了作印尼研究學習爪哇語、荷蘭語；又在因為被禁止入境印尼改做泰國研究時學起泰語，這樣的人什麼研究做不好！他學語言的方式很值得學習：找一本書，加一本字典，邊讀邊查，整本書精讀下來，語言的讀寫也掌握得七七八八了。作者學荷蘭語有一點“便利”，是他在伊頓讀書打下的拉丁文基礎。由此也啓發了我，在學羅曼語言之前或同時，可以學學拉丁文，這樣或許更有助於系統、有邏輯地理解所學的語言。 (展开)
