Few recent phenomena have proved as emblematic of our era, and as little understood, as globalisation. Are nation-states being transformed by globalisation into a single globalised economy? Do global cultural forces herald a postnational millennium? Tying ethnography to structural analysis, "Flexible Citizenship" explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes within the Asia-Pacific, including the impact of these forces on women and family life.Explaining how intensified travel, communications, and mass media have created a trans-national Chinese public, Aihwa Ong argues that previous studies have mistakenly viewed trans-nationality as necessarily detrimental to the nation-state and have ignored individual agency in the large-scale flow of people, images, and cultural forces across borders. She describes how political upheavals and global markets have induced Asian investors, in particular, to blend strategies of migration and of capital accumulation and how these trans-national subjects have come to symbolise both the fluidity of capital and the tension between national and personal identities.Refuting claims about the end of the nation-state and about 'the clash of civilizations', Ong presents a clear account of the cultural logics of globalisation and an incisive contribution to the anthropology of Asia-Pacific modernity and its links to global social change. This pioneering investigation of trans-national cultural forms will appeal to those in anthropology, globalisation studies, postcolonial studies, history, Asian studies, Marxist theory, and cultural studies.

Ong关于移民的第一部民族志，about wealthy immigrant who also struggle with becoming a self-disciplined Asia-American.Ong的批判基于把布迪厄的理论从法国移到transnational的场域，布迪厄强调文化资本的正向积累，但Ong认为when there is a gain，there is a loss. 当移民们开始模仿白人中产的生活方式，他们却会因为模仿而遭到背弃原文化的指责。
评分佛祖惩罚一个脑残的办法就是让他开学前拟一个无比枯燥的书单，然后在剩下的一个学期里慢慢消化，度日如年
评分有点儿ranting/rambling，理论上不太solid，otherwise pretty good，brings me back to the 90s and early 00s
评分写作好差，吐槽无力。啰里八嗦。木有中心。木有“民族志”。泛泛而谈。没有深入。好吧，开头那章理论篇还是有点用的。虽然今日看来也不新了呢＝。＝
评分内容上，目前唯一的长书评把前三章总结得很到位了，但是我不赞同长书评里最后对于种族问题的看法。用“移民涌入的多少”来解释与“当地人”的危机，似乎正是把问题从“全球资本分配不公及其原因” + “谁是移民，谁是当地人 (white settlers, non-white newcomers, Indigenous people)” + “如何看待资本、资源、土地、领域之间的关系” 的问题上转移开了。
