我有一个愿望，想写一写妈妈或祖母，很久以前生活在这片土地上的女性的故事。
一部女性版的《活着》，四代女性的友谊、抗争、泪水与欢笑
韩国最大网络书店22万读者票选“2021年度之书”
第29届大山文学奖获奖作，天才作家崔恩荣首部长篇小说！
女人们不再是仅供同情、怜悯的角色，也不再是装饰男人壮丽生活的配角。
她们是自己，生如草芥，彼此搀扶，尽全身之力对抗荒诞的时代。
-------------------
和丈夫离婚后，三十一岁的我独自来到海边小城熙岭，却在那里邂逅多年未见的祖母。尴尬和沉默之后，孤独的心一点点靠近，我和祖母成为相互倾吐心声的朋友。在祖母家老屋的旧相册里，我发现一位和我长相非常相似的女子，依偎在少女时代的祖母身旁。
一个个鲜活的面孔逐渐从一张张黑白相片中，从一封封感人至深的书信中，从久远的回忆里，穿过女人生如飘萍、命如草芥的时代，走到我面前。
经过曾祖母、祖母和母亲，来到我身边的故事，
她们的人生在我的眼前重现。
现在的我能够触及她们吗?
正如过去无数的我组成了现在的我，
现在的我也能见到过去的无数个我吗？

The definitive history of Asian Americans by one of the nation’s preeminent scholars on the subject.
In the past fifty years, Asian Americans have helped change the face of America and are now the fastest growing group in the United States. But as award-winning historian Erika Lee reminds us, Asian Americans also have deep roots in the country. The Making of Asian America tells the little-known history of Asian Americans and their role in American life, from the arrival of the first Asians in the Americas to the present-day.
An epic history of global journeys and new beginnings, this book shows how generations of Asian immigrants and their American-born descendants have made and remade Asian American life in the United States: sailors who came on the first trans-Pacific ships in the 1500s; indentured “coolies” who worked alongside African slaves in the Caribbean; and Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and South Asian immigrants who were recruited to work in the United States only to face massive racial discrimination, Asian exclusion laws, and for Japanese Americans, incarceration during World War II. Over the past fifty years, a new Asian America has emerged out of community activism and the arrival of new immigrants and refugees. No longer a “despised minority,” Asian Americans are now held up as America’s “model minorities” in ways that reveal the complicated role that race still plays in the United States.
Published to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of the United States’ Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that has remade our “nation of immigrants,” this is a new and definitive history of Asian Americans. But more than that, it is a new way of understanding America itself, its complicated histories of race and immigration, and its place in the world today.

After the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act loosened discriminatory restrictions, people from Northeast Asian countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and eventually China immigrated to the United States in large numbers. Highly skilled Asian immigrants flocked to professional-managerial occupations, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math. Asian American literature is now overwhelmingly defined by this generation’s children, who often struggled with parental and social expectations that they would pursue lucrative careers on their way to becoming writers.

Christopher T. Fan offers a new way to understand Asian American fiction through the lens of the class and race formations that shaped its authors both in the United States and in Northeast Asia. In readings of writers including Ted Chiang, Chang-rae Lee, Ken Liu, Ling Ma, Ruth Ozeki, Kathy Wang, and Charles Yu, he examines how Asian American fiction maps the immigrant narrative of intergenerational conflict onto the “two cultures” conflict between the arts and sciences. Fan argues that the self-consciousness found in these writers’ works is a legacy of Japanese and American modernization projects that emphasized technical and scientific skills in service of rapid industrialization. He considers Asian American writers’ attraction to science fiction, the figure of the engineer and notions of the “postracial,” modernization theory and time travel, and what happens when the dream of a stable professional identity encounters the realities of deprofessionalization and proletarianization. Through a transnational and historical-materialist approach, this groundbreaking book illuminates what makes texts and authors “Asian American.”

The Color of Success tells of the astonishing transformation of Asians in the United States from the “yellow peril” to “model minorities”—peoples distinct from the white majority but lauded as well-assimilated, upwardly mobile, and exemplars of traditional family values—in the middle decades of the twentieth century. As Ellen Wu shows, liberals argued for the acceptance of these immigrant communities into the national fold, charging that the failure of America to live in accordance with its democratic ideals endangered the country’s aspirations to world leadership.
Weaving together myriad perspectives, Wu provides an unprecedented view of racial reform and the contradictions of national belonging in the civil rights era. She highlights the contests for power and authority within Japanese and Chinese America alongside the designs of those external to these populations, including government officials, social scientists, journalists, and others. And she demonstrates that the invention of the model minority took place in multiple arenas, such as battles over zoot suiters leaving wartime internment camps, the juvenile delinquency panic of the 1950s, Hawaii statehood, and the African American freedom movement. Together, these illuminate the impact of foreign relations on the domestic racial order and how the nation accepted Asians as legitimate citizens while continuing to perceive them as indelible outsiders.
By charting the emergence of the model minority stereotype, The Color of Success reveals that this far-reaching, politically charged process continues to have profound implications for how Americans understand race, opportunity, and nationhood.

In her engaging study, Passing for Perfect, erin Khuê Ninh considers the factors that drove college imposters such as Azia Kim—who pretended to be a Stanford freshman—and Jennifer Pan—who hired a hitman to kill her parents before they found out she had never received her high school diploma—to extreme lengths to appear successful. Why would someone make such an illogical choice? And how do they stage these lies so convincingly, and for so long?
These outlier examples prompt Ninh to address the larger issue of the pressures and difficulties of striving to be model minority, where failure is too ruinous to admit. Passing for Perfect insists that being a “model minority” is not a “myth,” but coded into one’s programming as an identity—a set of convictions and aspirations, regardless of present socioeconomic status or future attainability—and that the true cost of turning children into high-achieving professionals may be higher than anyone can bear.
Ninh’s book codifies for readers the difference between imposters who are con artists or shysters and those who don’t know how to stop passing for perfect.

What happens when refugees encounter Indigenous sovereignty struggles in the countries of their resettlement? 

From April to November 1975, the US military processed over 112,000 Vietnamese refugees on the unincorporated territory of Guam; from 1977 to 1979, the State of Israel granted asylum and citizenship to 366 non-Jewish Vietnamese refugees. Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi analyzes these two cases to theorize what she calls the refugee settler condition: the fraught positionality of refugee subjects whose resettlement in a settler colonial state is predicated on the unjust dispossession of an Indigenous population. This groundbreaking book explores two forms of critical geography: first, archipelagos of empire, examining how the Vietnam War is linked to the US military buildup in Guam and unwavering support of Israel, and second, corresponding archipelagos of trans-Indigenous resistance, tracing how Chamorro decolonization efforts and Palestinian liberation struggles are connected through the Vietnamese refugee figure. Considering distinct yet overlapping modalities of refugee and Indigenous displacement, Gandhi offers tools for imagining emergent forms of decolonial solidarity between refugee settlers and Indigenous peoples.

为了逃避来自丈夫、家庭、社会和人群的暴力，她决定变成一棵树

在英惠的丈夫郑先生的眼中，“病”前的英惠，是个再普通不过的女子：不高不矮的个头、不长不短的头发，相貌平平，着装一般，温顺、平淡、文静。正如他所希望的那样，英惠完美地扮演了平凡妻子的角色——料理家务，伺候丈夫，就像千千万万的传统妇女一样。

然而，一场噩梦之后，妻子却突然开始拒绝吃肉，拒绝为家人准备荤菜，甚至到最后，她开始拒绝自己的“人类”身份，把自己当成了一株植物，一株只需要阳光和水，谢绝任何食物和交流的植物。而随着她被动的反叛以越来越极端和可怕的形式表现出来，丑闻、虐待和疏远开始让她螺旋进入她的幻想空间。在精神和身体的完全蜕变中，她现在危险的努力将使英惠——不可能的、狂喜的、悲剧性的——远离她曾经为人所知的自我。

「内容简介」
《俗女养成记》是台湾作家江鹅最具代表性的散文故事集，以清爽利落的文字写一个台南普通女孩的成长故事：与阿嬷的趣味日常、中药房里跟屁虫的生活、学钢琴、午后一个人的科学实验、爱的教育、女性意识初启蒙，还有孩童的内心小剧场等等。在各种可与不可对人言的人生细碎里，写出了一个女孩如何一点点长大，慢慢窥见并进入成人的世界，检视那些发生在自身的，关于亲情、爱、婚姻、尊卑伦常、人情世故等诸多教养与束缚，一步步变得自知自明，自如自在，真实而舒展。
生命再怎么难免哭泣，没有一刻不盼望着欢喜。大人与小孩，一起守护家的温暖热闹，也一起应付时代的荒谬。二十八篇轻盈舒展又机趣可爱的散文，不仅召回了记忆中的童年时代，也展现了思想与情感的今昔对比，从一个更开阔的视角去理解在这个时代和环境下成长的女性。《俗女养成记》不仅是一个普通女孩的成长史，也是所有在时代的新与旧之间认真生活的当代女性真实写照，不再追随那张优秀又好命的女人蓝图，选择一种更为安乐自在的活法。每一个人的成长既有时代印痕，又有生命自身的逻辑，回首过往是记录成长，也是厘清来路，与这个普通的自己握手言和。

张怡微致力于描写当代青年生活，无疾而终的爱情，棘手又充满羁绊的亲情，独立生活的困窘。她是一位与当代青年同成长的作家，能敏锐地捕捉到时代在青年群体中投射下的情绪，对于情感、自我的探索——他们接过生活的重量，经历婚姻、离异，看见衰老、死亡，一步步识别虚荣、谎言，也辨析人的软弱、逞强。他们努力自我长成，遥远的长路变短路，直到长出自己的表情轮廓。
张怡微以毫不怯弱的姿态迎击生活中的虚与委蛇，欲望与幸福，相遇与告别，在冷静的叙述中闪现人生的真谛，偶有嬉笑哀矜，时而反讽自嘲，以至于发出一声轻微的叹息：生活——这么狭小的岛屿，我们到底急着飞去哪？

【内容简介】
零工经济席卷而来，冲击着大学教职的分配。在过去的几十年里，大学教授的工作已经被彻底改变了——而且是更糟糕的改变。美国的学院和大学旨在为学生服务，并通过终身教师的长期工作、研究和稳定来创造知识，但今天的高等教育已经逐渐被兼职人员所主导。现在，据一些调查显示，多达70%的美国教授在课程之间疲于奔命，福利微薄，几乎没什么保障，而且工资极低。
在《学历之死：美国博士消亡史》一书中，赫布?柴尔德里斯以自己和其他非长聘教师的亲身经历，讲述了高等教育究竟如何导向了这种令人遗憾的状态。
这是美国高等教育体系中的“青椒之困”——当年轻博士顺利毕业，走上讲台正试图大干一场时，猛然发现自己只不过是一个兼职的讲课机器——捧着早已被规划好的课程大纲教授通识课程，照本宣科下拿着居于最低水平线的时薪，按课缔结的一纸合约无法给出任何保障——非升即走是常态，而长聘教职则遥不可及。
从拥有最高学历、最被看好的学生，到非升即走所驱使的不稳定劳动力，在学术职业临时化的背景下，博士群体正在面临前所未有的普遍性困境：在高高抛起学术帽的同时，也一脚迈进了朝不保夕的巨大熔炉。
作者指出，高等教育内部和外部的许多力量共同推动了这种转变，向我们展示了竞争所造成的损害，不仅对兼职教师本身，而且对学生、长聘教师、行政部门以及国家都是如此。当我们把教育工作者当作绝望的临时工来对待时，怎么能说自己重视高等教育呢？
赫布?柴尔德里斯的作品克制慎重而又充满激情，文本源于事实，但一定语惊四座，揭示了相互冲突的价值观、被扼杀的资源和相互竞争的目标，从根本上改变了我们对大学应该是什么样的看法。对相信高等教育对于社会至关重要的人来说，这本书是强有力的召唤。

名校毕业、高学历，都不等于光辉灿烂的前途。如果学历限制了能力的持续成长，学历就成为自我安慰的麻痹剂。甩开学历包袱，后半程发力，赢到最后！

“我的职业目标素来低调，我只想教书和写作，别无他想。”我被这句话深深打动。《学历之死》从作者的生命体验和人生遭际出发，深刻裸露了当下高等教育的危机，既有质疑和焦虑，也有温度和洞见。站在成功学的立场，这群被淘汰的“另类”从业者的归宿和命运，充满了权威人士傲慢判断之下的必然，但“大声说出梦想，而不只是表达恐惧”的勇气和赤诚，让作者的发声充满了反思的力量：教育的魅力和底线，在于人类懂得能动性地运用知识的生产和传播，营造一个更加公平和美好的社会，以惠泽更多的人群，在任何真正的教育过程中，同样要坚守教育事业所持的底线，看见那些身边被漠视和遮蔽的同类。
——黄灯（知名作家，深圳职业技术学院教授，《我的二本学生》作者）
终于，零工经济攻占了大学的象牙塔：教师只是课程这种商品的提供者，学生以及家长则是购买学分的消费者，文凭成为打开就业市场的敲门砖，知识用完即弃，理想遥不可及，校园里满是赶时间的人。大学怎么了，本书对“兼职教师”这个“按需而定”的群体进行深描，既讲述了高等教育在美国的复杂生态及其历史变迁，同时又不断追问更普遍、也更根本的问题，激发读者思考什么才是真正理想的教育——故事的叙述嵌入在美国阶级分化的历史潮流中，叙事本身又构成广大“局外人”对高高在上的常春藤的一次挑战和批判。打开这本书，视乎读者的处境和心态，它可以是真诚并残酷的博士劝退指南，也能成为“青椒”以及每一位在大学内感到压迫、迷失的被剥夺者或不适群体的生存指南，更好地理解你的所在，然后成为你自己。
——田雷（华东师范大学法学院教授，雅理丛书主理）
终身教轨的工作越来越少且竞争趋于白热化，绝大多数博士毕业生只能找到临时性教职，在美国读过书的人对这一幕都再熟悉不过。但到底何以至此？我们大多数人似乎从来没有深入思考过。《学历之死》对这一问题做出了深入的考察，抽丝剥茧般地为我们揭示了美国高等教育的真相及其结构性根源。这不仅仅是规模庞大的博士如何就业的问题，更是大学生能获得什么样的教育的问题，是我们都珍视的“象牙塔”会走向何方的问题。而对于高等教育深刻变革中的中国，这本书更是敲响了警钟。
——李钧鹏（华中师范大学社会学院教授，International Sociology Reviews主编）
当我们对美国终身教授的生活充满向往之时，殊不知美国的“青椒”生活状态如何？——入不敷出、非升即走、学历贬值、零工打杂、性别歧视、经费不足等等，似乎与这样一个超级大国格格不入，但本书以真实的数据与访谈告诉我们这一切还在不断加剧。我们现在正在照搬“先进的”美国大学制度种种，如果不正视它们已经存在的弊端，我们必然也会走上“学历之死”之路。
——李昕升（东南大学人文学院副教授）
这本书已是我的参考书。可以达成基本共识：小院高墙的大国科技竞争仰仗好的科技政策，而科研人员的生产、强大、自信至关重要。因此我要从头细读美国博士制度的精彩故事！

Current accounts of China’s global rise emphasize economics and politics, largely neglecting the cultivation of China’s people. Susan Greenhalgh, one of the foremost authorities on China’s one-child policy, places the governance of population squarely at the heart of China’s ascent.
Focusing on the decade since 2000, and especially 2004–09, she argues that the vital politics of population has been central to the globalizing agenda of the reform state. By helping transform China’s rural masses into modern workers and citizens, by working to strengthen, techno-scientize, and legitimize the PRC regime, and by boosting China’s economic development and comprehensive national power, the governance of the population has been critically important to the rise of global China.
After decades of viewing population as a hindrance to modernization, China’s leaders are now equating it with human capital and redefining it as a positive factor in the nation’s transition to a knowledge-based economy. In encouraging “human development,” the regime is trying to induce people to become self-governing, self-enterprising persons who will advance their own health, education, and welfare for the benefit of the nation. From an object of coercive restriction by the state, population is being refigured as a field of self-cultivation by China’s people themselves.

White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable. 

"Follow your passion" is a popular mantra for career decision-making in the United States. Passion-seeking seems like a promising path for avoiding the potential drudgery of a life of paid work, but this "passion principle"—seductive as it is—does not universally translate.
reveals the significant downside of the passion principle: the concept helps culturally legitimize and reproduce an exploited, overworked white-collar labor force and broadly serves to reinforce class, race, and gender segregation and inequality.

Grounding her investigation in the paradoxical tensions between capitalism's demand for ideal workers and our cultural expectations for self-expression, sociologist Erin A. Cech draws on interviews that follow students from college into the workforce, surveys of US workers, and experimental data to explain why the passion principle is such an attractive, if deceptive, career decision-making mantra, particularly for the college educated. Passion-seeking presumes middle-class safety nets and springboards and penalizes first-generation and working-class young adults who seek passion without them. The ripple effects of this mantra undermine the promise of college as a tool for social and economic mobility. The passion principle also feeds into a culture of overwork, encouraging white-collar workers to tolerate precarious employment and gladly sacrifice time, money, and leisure for work they are passionate about. And potential employers covet, but won't compensate, passion among job applicants. This book asks, What does it take to center passion in career decisions? Who gets ahead and who gets left behind by passion-seeking?
calls for citizens, educators, college administrators, and industry leaders to reconsider how we think about good jobs and, by extension, good lives.

From two experts in the field comes an accessible, how-to guide that will help researchers think more productively about the relation between theory and data at every stage of their work.
In Data Analysis in Qualitative Research, Iddo Tavory and Stefan Timmermans provide a how-to guide filled with tricks of the trade for researchers who hope to take excellent qualitative data and transform it into powerful scholarship. In their previous book, Abductive Analysis: Theorizing Qualitative Research, Timmermans and Tavory offered a toolkit for innovative theorizing in the social sciences. In this companion, they go one step further to show how to uncover the surprising revelations that lie waiting in qualitative data—in sociology and beyond.

In this book, they lay out a series of tools designed to help both novice and expert scholars see and understand their data in surprising ways. Timmermans and Tavory show researchers how to “stack the deck” of qualitative research in favor of locating surprising findings that may lead to theoretical breakthroughs, whether by engaging with theory, discussing research strategies, or walking the reader through the process of coding data. From beginning to end of a research project, Data Analysis in Qualitative Research helps social scientists pinpoint the most promising paths to take in their approach.

“天下父母有一个共同点，那就是希望孩子有更好的前途，但又不知道到底该怎么做。”
格罗斯伯格穿梭于曼哈顿的私立学校与豪华公寓之间，她做好准备应对精英阶层急迫的育儿诉求，却意外地窥探到孩子们不堪重负的、郁郁寡欢的精神世界。

There are two narratives of the American class structure: one of a country with boundless opportunities for upward mobility and one of a rigid class system in which the rich stay rich while the poor stay poor. Each of these narratives holds some truth, but each overlooks another. In Privilege Lost, Jessi Streib traces the lives of over 100 youth born into the upper-middle-class. Following them for over ten years as they transition from teens to young adults, Streib examines who falls from the upper-middle-class, how, and why don't they see it coming. In doing so, she reveals the patterned ways that individuals' resources and identities push them onto mobility paths—and the complicated choices youth make between staying true to themselves and staying in their class position. Engaging and eye-opening, Privilege Lost brings to life the stories of the downwardly mobile and highlights what they reveal about class, privilege, and American family life.

After Pinochet's dictatorship ended in Chile in 1990, the country experienced a rapid decline in poverty along with a quickly growing economy. As a result, Chile's middle class expanded dramatically, echoing trends seen across the Global South as neoliberalism took firm hold in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Identity Investments examines the politics and consumption practices of this vast and varied fraction of the Chilean population, seeking to better understand their value systems and the histories that informed them.
Using participant observation, interviews, and photographs, Joel Stillerman develops a unique typology of the middle class, made up of activists, moderate Catholics, pragmatists, and youngsters. This typology allows him to unearth the cultural, political, and religious roots of middle-class market practices in contrast with other studies focused on social mobility and exclusionary practices. The resultant contrast in backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of these four groups animates this book and extends an emerging body of scholarship focused on the connections between middle class market choices and politics in the Global South, with important implications for Chile's recent explosive political changes.
