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.

除瞭好看以外太愛這個冥幣封麵瞭。
评分讀之前預期太高，所以讀完有點小失落，不過還是很好瞭
评分從一半的時候就在等這句"agents of fate ... were never beyond approach and negotiation"等到瞭倒數第三頁的最後一句話，急死我瞭。第二章和最後一章最精彩。用詞好難..
评分一本關於福州移民的書，關注migration對福州當地人的影響。也許是因為選取的概念，整本書的結構比較散。關於空間和流動概念的第一部分和關於當地人生活方式的最後一章對我來說最有意思，看來我還是一個不摺不扣的社會學者... 作者最後用福州麻將來形容和總結瞭在移民過程中當地人對gain vs. lost、運氣和circulation的看法，但這個總結好像更多的是基於最後一部分而不是整本書。因為馮老師正是福州移民傢庭齣身，讀這本書的過程我不斷去尋求他對作者theorization的看法，學瞭不少福州話，並在第47頁猜到瞭作者做田野的地點
评分well written. i found the language style in the introduction too ambiguous and suggesting. but once it gets to fieldwork materials, it is very clear. i like the theoretical frame of the book.
