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.

內容上，目前唯一的長書評把前三章總結得很到位瞭，但是我不贊同長書評裏最後對於種族問題的看法。用“移民湧入的多少”來解釋與“當地人”的危機，似乎正是把問題從“全球資本分配不公及其原因” + “誰是移民，誰是當地人 (white settlers, non-white newcomers, Indigenous people)” + “如何看待資本、資源、土地、領域之間的關係” 的問題上轉移開瞭。
评分Ong關於移民的第一部民族誌，about wealthy immigrant who also struggle with becoming a self-disciplined Asia-American.Ong的批判基於把布迪厄的理論從法國移到transnational的場域，布迪厄強調文化資本的正嚮積纍，但Ong認為when there is a gain，there is a loss. 當移民們開始模仿白人中産的生活方式，他們卻會因為模仿而遭到背棄原文化的指責。
评分提齣一些重要概念，但寫作邏輯太差瞭，零零落落的
评分有點兒ranting/rambling，理論上不太solid，otherwise pretty good，brings me back to the 90s and early 00s
评分實在是擅長玩弄概念啊！！！
