How nationalism has shaped the political and cultural landscape of Southeast Asia.
“‘Come, let us build a Third Kingdom, and in this Third Reich, hey, sisters, you will live happily; hey, brothers, you will live happily; hey, kids, you will live happily; hey, you German patriots, you will see Germany sitting enthroned above all the peoples in this world.’ How clever Hitler was, brothers and sisters, in depicting these ideals!”
Thus the late President Sukarno of Indonesia, an anti-colonial leader, in a public speech while accepting an honorary degree, and viewing Europe and its history through an inverted telescope, as Europeans often regard other parts of the globe. Strange shifts in perspective can take place when Berlin is viewed from Jakarta, or when complex histories of colonial domination strand what counts as the founding work of a national culture in a language its people no longer read. The “spectre of comparisons” arises as nations stir into self awareness, matching themselves against others, and becoming whole through the exercise of the imagination.
In this series of profound and eloquent essays, Benedict Anderson, best known for his classic book on nationalism, Imagined Communities, explores these effects as they work their way through politics and culture. Spanning broad accounts of the development of nationalism and identity, and detailed studies of Southeast Asia, the book includes pieces on East Timor, where every Indonesian attempt to suppress national feeling has had the opposite effect; on the Philippines, where it is said that some horses eat better than stable-hands; on Thailand, where so much money can be made in elected posts that candidates regularly kill to get them; on the Filipino nationalist and novelist José Rizal for whom “we mortals are like turtles—we have value and are classified according to our shells;” and a remarkable essay on Mario Vargas Llosa, detailing the fate of indigenous minorities at the hands of the modern state.
While The Spectre of Comparisons is an indispensable resource for those interested in Southeast Asia, Anderson also takes up the large issues of the universal grammars of nationalism and ethnicity, the peculiarity of nationalist imagery as replicas without originals, and the mutations of nationalism in an age of mass global migrations and instant electronic communications.

东南亚与殖民主义 东南亚的迷人之处不仅在于千奇百怪的民族和国家,而且在于各种利维坦的动物园。 “‘东南亚殖民地国家’这个正式的抽象名称,掩盖了结构、能力和目标的反复多样。……众所周知,欧洲的殖民地国家与该地区从前存在过度政治实体,两者间几乎没有或者...
評分这是一个西方视角对东南亚的观察,在民族主义的潮流下旧有的殖民统治早已是昨日黄花,但是新生的国家在精神上依旧是处于东西方的价值体系的夹缝之中。新的精英不自觉的认同西方的价值观却被东方的传统所影响。一切都披上了现代化的外衣,但是其下处处都是对权力的追逐。我们知...
