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.

评分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。
评分章节之间逻辑很散漫。除了Intro有比较系统的对transnationalism的文献梳理比较有帮助之外，无他= =
评分Very insightful
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
