Dr. Amy Chua 是耶鲁大学法学院的 John M. Duff, Jr. 冠名教授,研究国际商业。 她的父母均为中国人 (华裔),从菲律宾移民美国。Dr. Amy Chua 毕业于加州的 El Cerrito High School (1980 年),获该年度该校第一位毕业生的美誉 (Valedictorian,共 384 位学生毕业)。毕业后,她先后在哈佛大学获得了文科学士 (1984) 和法学博士 (1987) 学位。
在担任耶鲁大学教授后,Dr. Chua 先后出版了两部学术专著。在二零零二年出版的《燃烧的世界 - 自由经济和民主的输出是怎样繁衍出种族仇恨和环球不安的》(WORLD ON FIRE, Subtitle: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability) 一书中,Dr. Chua 对当前美国向全球强行推广自由经济和民主人权的政策进行了深刻反思。

这个蠢女人,受不了了,她说她认为中国不会成为hyperpower,ok, i take this assumption as acceptable,然而她说到她的论证是,因为中国不够tolerant!因为只看见中国人移民出去,见不到西方人移民进来....

Like her or not, she is a US-educated professor, working in a US university. She's been carved and will live in such a way. At least her view on "兼容併蓄" is plausible for immigrants.

You will not like her after you read her book "World on Fire". Believe me. From my point of view, she is quiet limited in her life circle, such as rich Chinese overseas in Southeast asia. She created or developed two theories: minority dominated market and hyper-power. Not very impressive for me at all. In her book "World on Fire", she repeated samilar case to different countries again and again. Her attitudes towards mainland Chinese were really bad. She even said that 'the most recent arrival Chinese are the most disliked, and they are impressed people by talking loud and spite everywhere'.She totally distinguished herself from other Chinese, especially mainland Chinese.

She analyzed all the questions according the so called comparative history point, and never did she consider the dynamic developments of the other countries -- especially China and Russia.The main reason for the US is the No.1 in the world nowadays is benefited from its political structure which can find the suitable people to do the suitable things rather than 'tolerance' itself. The connection between the US and the other countries through is too weak and I couldn't see that can create anything related to 'loyalty'. The presidential election of 2000 between Gore and Bush shows that the US changed already -- the government is also dominated by families and really brilliant ordinary people don't have the chance to live in White House anymore, which indicates that US loses its advantage of its political structure and that's the start of its declination. In the last 7 years the Bush administration is nothing but 'a fly without its head', many other countries suffered from that but the Americans didn't get any benefit from that either. For 2008 presidential campaign, I haven't found any candidate can compare with Clinton yet.

学法律的还是看问题比不上正统的社会学家。
是啊,这个野熊的故事对稍有正义感的家长来说,是不会用它来教育自己的孩子们的。自作聪明举这个例子,也许是出自这个女人的野蛮出生背景(菲律宾)和弱肉强食缺乏仁爱所造成的心理阴影,可怜的女人!耶鲁,不过是权势阶层那她当猴耍的一个舞台,却还顾自在那沾沾自喜。可悲。
在书前部分,她描述了菲律宾人的脏、懒、甚至愚蠢。并说如果中国人和菲人结婚的话会被看作是耻辱的。非且不谈中国人是如何清高自好,但她流露出她对菲律宾人,其他东南亚国家的人......和其他不是白人也不是海外华人的人的歧视,与她的tolerance理论是相违背的。
她把在美国的海外华人分为三类:移民到美国已经3、4代的,已被同化了的华裔;第一或第二代移民,这些移民保持良好中国传统,她自称就像chua家族的人;和最近新到美的中国人,她说这些中国人大多来自大陆,是最令人不喜欢的,他们给人的印象是大声说话和随地吐痰。
我不明白一方面她大谈宽容tolerance, 另一方面又极度批评各种人群。一方面要赢得美国的共鸣教育美国要tolerant,想必是对她这类自我标榜有教养、来自富裕人阶层、生于美国的华人的tolerance,另一方面又极度歧视并阐述“其他”人是如何的低微与下贱。这种矛盾的思想与表现,美国人是无法辨别的。
在我们为华裔的陈旧而喝彩的时候,请想一想我们为什么为他/她喝彩。
...Amy Chua 教授在演讲中讲了一个有趣的故事,两个猎人同时在被野熊追赶,他们间只要谁跑得更快就能脱险
**** 是啊,其中的一个猎人再脚下使个拌子,击倒另一个,自己就更安全啦!
,宽容以至世界人才归心,才能称王。现在世界人才还是往美国跑,所以美国还是当然霸主。
美国是移民国家,吸纳世界人材,兼容各种文化,此中国现在无法与之相比。我一篇跨国婚姻的文章,与她所说兼容接近。
谢谢金笔分享!
