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.

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＝。＝
评分实在是擅长玩弄概念啊！！！
评分这本书实在太老了，Intro可以读一下，基本也就讲完了。
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= =
评分看完仍然不明白作者自称的民族志＋结构分析法中的民族志体现在哪里。本书重点：海外华人的Chineseness和海外华人的资本累积。标题看不出来，但书中一直是以海外华人为主角的，然而这些特性是否可以用于其他海外移民？300多页的书，却写得不算深入。（上Youtube找了些作者的讲座，真的超难听，全是生硬地读稿）
