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 Jos  Rizal in \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Globalization\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eA Life Beyond Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, \u003ci\u003eImagined Communities\u003c\/i\u003e (1983), whose complexities changed the study of nationalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benedict Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784784567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784784560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016 pg. 95","brand":"Benedict Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078642495743,"sku":"9781784784560","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c2cbe18-e941-4d65-b74d-d05fb5adaa89.jpg?v=1685476673","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-beyond-boundaries-benedict-anderson-9781784784560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
