M. A. Thung
As long as I can remember, I have had a keen interest in history. Yet, growing up it wasn’t the stories of antiquity or the Middle Ages that particularly excited me. Rather, it was modern history – the events and people that I could see as having directly shaped my world. In hindsight, I feel that in a sense I was trying to understand both my own family history (which was greatly impacted by the upheavals of the twentieth century) and another period of change happening all around me that I could not yet contextualize. I vividly remember being glued to the television, watching people a world away take hammers to the Berlin Wall, knowing that something big was happening but unsure yet of the significance. I watched bodies and oil wells burning in the Kuwaiti and Iraqi deserts and Boris Yeltsin standing atop a tank before the Russian Parliament. And then, closer to home, came Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, the capture of the Unabomber, and the Columbine school massacre. I was also becoming acutely aware of the stark contrast between my relatively privileged, leafy, middle-class suburban neighborhood and the deep poverty mere miles away in the capital of the supposedly most powerful nation on earth. By the time I entered high school, this had developed into the start of an understanding that there was something fundamentally broken with an economic system that even during its boom years was marked by tremendous inequality and suffering. This led me first to the burgeoning anti-globalization movement, and then to the Green Party campaign of Ralph Nader in 2000. The former opened my eyes to the immense power of multinational corporations, while the latter shook my faith in mainstream politics as a vehicle to effect real, substantive change. I saw how in the American political system the deck was firmly stacked against outsider candidates, and I was castigated by the liberals with whom I had previously identified for having encouraged people to ‘throw their vote away’ and let George W. Bush into the White House.
从记事起，我就对历史产生了浓厚的兴趣。然而，在成长过程中，让我特别兴奋的并不是古代或中世纪的故事。更确切地说，是现代史——我能看到的那些事件和人物直接塑造了我的世界。事后看来，我觉得在某种意义上，我是在试图理解我自己的家族史(它受到了20世纪动荡的极大影响)，以及我周围发生的另一段我还无法将其置于背景下的变化时期。我清楚地记得，当时我紧盯着电视，看着世界另一端的人们拿着锤子砸柏林墙，知道有什么大事正在发生，但不确定它的意义。我看到科威特和伊拉克沙漠里的尸体和燃烧的油井，看到鲍里斯·叶利钦站在俄罗斯议会前的一辆坦克上。然后，在离家更近的地方，发生了红宝石岭、韦科、俄克拉荷马城爆炸案、抓捕炸弹客和科伦拜恩学校大屠杀。我也开始敏锐地意识到，我所在的相对优越的、绿树成荫的中产阶级郊区社区，与几英里外被认为是世界上最强大国家的首都的极度贫困形成了鲜明对比。到我上高中的时候，我已经开始认识到，即使在经济繁荣时期，也以巨大的不平等和痛苦为标志的经济体系存在着根本性的问题。这让我首先注意到蓬勃发展的反全球化运动，然后是2000年拉尔夫·纳德(Ralph Nader)的绿党竞选活动。前者让我看到了跨国公司的巨大力量，而后者则动摇了我对主流政治作为实现真正的、实质性变革的工具的信念。我看到了美国的政治体制是如何对局外人候选人不利的，我受到了自由主义者的严厉批评，我之前认为他们鼓励人们“扔掉选票”，让乔治·w·布什(George W. Bush)入主白宫。
