Título: Home Is Where We Are
Autor: Wang Gungwu
Sinopse: "Does home have to be a country or a city?... Or is home this house or that? We have been fortunate.... We seemed always to have been home." Wang Gungwu’s account of his university education in Singapore and the UK, and the early years of his career as an academic in Malaysia captures the excitement, the ambition, and the choices of a generation that saw it their responsibility to build the new nations of Southeast Asia. The exploration of the emotional and intellectual journey towards the formation of an identity, treasured by readers of Wang's Home Is Not Here, extends in this volume into an appreciation of love, family life, and the life of the mind. We also see these years from Margaret’s perspective, her own fascinating family story, and her early impressions of this young bearded poet. Wise and moving, this is a fascinating reflection on identity and belonging, and on the ability of the individual to find a place amidst the historical currents that have shaped Asia.
