具体描述

Year after year a woman sits in her bare living quarters with her bags packed. She is waiting for a phone call from her snakehead, or human smuggler. That longed-for call will send her out her door, away from Fuzhou, China, on a perilous, illicit journey to the United States. Nothing diffuses the promise of an overseas destiny: neither the ever-increasing smuggling fee for successful travel nor her knowledge of the deadly risks in transit and the exploitative labor conditions abroad. The sense of imminent departure enchants her every move and overshadows the banalities of her present life. In this engrossing ethnographic account of how the Fuzhounese translate their desires for mobility into projects worth pursuing, Julie Y. Chu focuses on Fuzhounese efforts to recast their social horizons beyond the limitations of "peasant life" in China. Transcending utilitarian questions of risks and rewards, she considers the overflow of aspirations in the Fuzhounese pursuit of transnational destinations. Chu attends not just to the migration of bodies, but also to flows of shipping containers, planes, luggage, immigration papers, money, food, prayers, and gods. By analyzing the intersections and disjunctures of these various flows, she explains how mobility operates as a sign embodied through everyday encounters and in the transactions of persons and things.

一本关于福州移民的书，关注migration对福州当地人的影响。也许是因为选取的概念，整本书的结构比较散。关于空间和流动概念的第一部分和关于当地人生活方式的最后一章对我来说最有意思，看来我还是一个不折不扣的社会学者... 作者最后用福州麻将来形容和总结了在移民过程中当地人对gain vs. lost、运气和circulation的看法，但这个总结好像更多的是基于最后一部分而不是整本书。因为冯老师正是福州移民家庭出身，读这本书的过程我不断去寻求他对作者theorization的看法，学了不少福州话，并在第47页猜到了作者做田野的地点
