没想到豆瓣评价这么低…很工整的剧本,大概是我biased,非常容易入戏这个故事,从头到尾都揪心,觉得就是个又香港又移民/难民/流民的典型故事,还带了港片的警匪犯罪公路氛围,两个家庭Y型叙事交织到一起的父子对仗,两个世代移民的重合和分化,以及个中轻重取舍,都还蛮合适的。作为熟悉各种国家各种语境下移民故事的人来说,真是从头到尾都泪点很密集。(也挺适合用来教学的)2023.5.17于香港高先

Transcendent Kingdom 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Yaa Gyasi Knopf 2020 - 7
Yaa Gyasi's stunning follow-up to her acclaimed national best seller Homegoing is a powerful, raw, intimate, deeply layered novel about a Ghanaian family in Alabama.

Gifty is a fifth-year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine studying reward-seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after a knee injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her.

But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief--a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut.

比起homegoing好像更喜欢这本,虽然依然有在阿拉巴马长大的加纳二代移民的背景,整个故事完全落点在女主自述上,OD的哥哥,因此抑郁的母亲,早早逃回母国缺席的父亲,和女主为了逃离或是探求而长期在宗教和科学之间摇摆,明明选择了家庭伤痛很相关的研究寻求酬赏行为的课题,却对自己的伤痛闭口不谈,最终好在还是打破了这个虚假的二元对立。母女关系的部分很出彩,和一个white church和当地社区因为哥哥的事情给她带来的耻感描述到位,亲密关系的部分作为背景略欠说服力。虽然和女主成长背景没有任何相似之处,却觉得非常容易代入,所以即使感觉一个HE有点突兀,但好像也还是挺高兴的,就是"she deserves this"的满足感吧。

The Six
7.9 (106 个评分) 导演: 罗飞 演员: 施万克 / 詹姆斯·卡梅隆
其它标题: The Six / 六人
1912年4月14日泰坦尼克号沉没后几乎所有幸存者被送回至纽约港口,唯独六名中国幸存者,他们获救后在24小时之内被美国驱逐出境,他们的逃生经历几乎不被记录,甚至被刻意抹去。本片由詹姆斯·卡梅隆监制,我们将跟随调查者,追寻这六人从人类史上最大海难中死里逃生的经历和人生轨迹,拆穿被掩盖一个世纪之久的谎言。

团队跑了这么多地方追寻这六人来时的路,从泰坦尼克沉没幸存者这种罕见大事件来讲一代华人移民的坚韧不拔和英美对华人劳工的不公态度这样的普遍历史事实,真是很特别的切入点,也很感人。可惜的是在评论里看到太多人还是带着民族情绪和慕强心理在看,要说好一个全球视野下的种族/民族/移民故事,让人们不局限于自己的民族/国族认同共情,也是真的难。

The Suffering of the Immigrant 豆瓣
作者: Abdelmalek Sayad 译者: David Macey Polity 2004 - 4
This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the condition of the immigrant and it will transform the reader’s understanding of the issues surrounding immigration. Sayad’s book will be widely used in courses on race, ethnicity, immigration and identity in sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, politics and geography.
an outstanding and original work on the experience of immigration and the kind of suffering involved in living in a society and culture which is not one’s own;
describes how immigrants are compelled, out of respect for themselves and the group that allowed them to leave their country of origin, to play down the suffering of emigration;
Abdelmalek Sayad, was an Algerian scholar and close associate of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu - after Sayad’s death, Bourdieu undertook to assemble these writings for publication;
this book will transform the reader’s understanding of the issues surrounding immigration.
2021年6月26日 已读
重点读了Ch 9-12,其他章节也基本扫了一遍,虽然Bourdieu的影响显而易见,Sayad对阿尔及利亚和移民苦难的深刻了解还是让他从多个维度(尤其是殖民、战争这些重要历史背景)描述了Emigration-Immigration过程中的多重挣扎。法语原名的double absence其实还是个好得多的题目,更贴切地描述了在法的阿尔及利亚移民乃至其二代(和很多类似移民)在哪都缺席,does not belong anywhere, "immigrants" who have not emigrated from anywhere的状态。

Interior Chinatown 豆瓣 Goodreads
7.2 (8 个评分) 作者: Charles Yu Pantheon Books 2020 - 1
From the infinitely inventive author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe comes a deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, immigration, assimilation, and escaping the roles we are forced to play.
Willis Wu doesn't perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: he's merely Generic Asian Man. Every day, he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant, where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He's a bit player here too. . . but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the highest aspiration he can imagine for a Chinatown denizen. Or is it?
After stumbling into the spotlight, Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he's ever known, discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown, but the buried legacy of his own family, and what that means for him, in today's America.
Playful but heartfelt, a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes—Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu's most moving, daring, and masterful novel yet.

几周前听完的。伪剧本和主角一直出戏独白的写法很魔幻,Generic Asian Man/Kung Fu Guy和整个performing Asianness的视角都有点心酸,是个很有趣的尝试。

Pachinko 豆瓣
8.7 (13 个评分) 作者: Min Jin Lee Grand Central Publishing 2017 - 11
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

几代在日韩国人(zainichi)的故事。本来觉得part 3有点多余,因为part 1/2的故事非常出彩,Sunja作为女主踏实肯干的光环太耀眼,简直觉得第四代的故事不足为道,但是最后Solomon决定子承父业,留在日本其实想来还是对这个family saga挺重要的。最好看的自然还是那些坚韧不拔的女性给移民家庭提供的重要基石,和在战乱、殖民、歧视、身份认同的纠结之中依然在命运的转盘上努力诚实生活的人们。

Yasmin has lived an almost normal life as a German ever since she was three years old. The family fled from Somalia during the civil war and now lives scattered around the globe. When Yasmin's grandmother no longer wants to stay in her Ethiopian exile, a transnational family drama evolves, circling around the essential question: Where is Granny to live? And suddenly, the family confronts their own aspirations: Have they actually arrived where they want to be? GLOBAL FAMILY is a twistful documentary about a transnational family drama, in which four generations of a refugee family each pursue their own dreams of family, home, and future.

Chinese Student Migration and Selective Citizenship 豆瓣
作者: Lisong Liu Routledge 2015 - 8
Since China began its open-door and reform policies in 1978, more than three million Chinese students have migrated to study abroad, and the United States has been their top destination. The recent surge of students following this pattern, along with the rising tide of Chinese middle- and upper-classes' emigration out of China, have aroused wide public and scholarly attention in both China and the US.
This book examines the four waves of Chinese student migration to the US since the late 1970s, showing how they were shaped by the profound changes in both nations and by US-China relations. It discusses how student migrants with high socioeconomic status transformed Chinese American communities and challenged American immigration laws and race relations. The book suggests that the rise of China has not negated the deeply rooted "American dream" that has been constantly reinvented in contemporary China. It also addresses the theme of "selective citizenship" – a way in which migrants seek to claim their autonomy - proposing that this notion captures the selective nature on both ends of the negotiations between nation-states and migrants. It cautions against a universal or idealized "dual citizenship" model, which has often been celebrated as a reflection of eroding national boundaries under globalization. This book draws on a wide variety of sources in Chinese and English, as well as extensive fieldwork in both China and the US, and its historical perspective sheds new light on contemporary Chinese student migration and post-1965 Chinese American community.
Bridging the gap between Asian and Asian American studies, the book also integrates the studies of migration, education, and international relations. Therefore, it will be of interest to students of these fields, as well as Chinese history and Asian American history more generally.

不太习惯历史学家作品,总觉得支持的细节有点随机,比如网媒只言片语的报道,作者自己的一些随机的观察(大概是方法论和社会学太不一样),也许用于构建narrative也是合理的。匆匆翻过,算是比较合乎逻辑的背景介绍。最后提出的selective citizenship讲得不太清楚,也没有和Ong的flexible citizenship真正进行对话和反驳。

Americanah 豆瓣
作者: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Knopf 2013 - 5
One of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year
LONGLISTED 2015 – International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a dazzling new novel: a story of love and race centered around a young man and woman from Nigeria who face difficult choices and challenges in the countries they come to call home.
As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are leaving the country if they can. Ifemelu—beautiful, self-assured—departs for America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze—the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor—had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.
Years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion—for their homeland and for each other—they will face the toughest decisions of their lives.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today’s globalized world: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s most powerful and astonishing novel yet.
