A Memoir<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

by Benedict Anderson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

224 pages \/ July 2018<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An intellectual memoir by the author of the acclaimed Imagined Communities<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Born in China, Benedict Anderson spent his childhood in California and Ireland, was educated in England and finally found a home at Cornell University, where he immersed himself in the growing field of Southeast Asian studies. He was expelled from Suharto\u2019s Indonesia after revealing the military to be behind the attempted coup of 1965, an event which prompted reprisals that killed up to a million communists and their supporters. Banned from the country for thirty-five years, he continued his research in Thailand and the Philippines, producing a very fine study of the Filipino novelist and patriot Jos\u00e9 Rizal in The Age of Globalization<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In A Life Beyond Boundaries<\/em>, Anderson recounts a life spent open to the world. Here he reveals the joys of learning languages, the importance of fieldwork, the pleasures of translation, the influence of the New Left on global thinking, the satisfactions of teaching, and a love of world literature. He discusses the ideas and inspirations behind his best-known work, Imagined Communities<\/em> (1983), whose complexities changed the study of nationalism.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Benedict Anderson died in Java in December 2015, soon after he had finished correcting the proofs of this book. The tributes that poured in from Asia alone suggest that his work will continue to inspire and stimulate minds young and old.<\/p>\n
