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's
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 Jose Rizal in The Age of Globalization. In A
Life Beyond Boundaries, 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
(1983), whose complexities changed the study of nationalism.
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.
