中國的家長很重視子女的教育,普遍希望孩子能讀大學,而這是台灣社會也不陌生的現象。澳大利亞人類學家任柯安將這種大眾對教育一致的期望稱為「教育欲望」。
在本書中,任柯安把長期在中國山東鄒平觀察到的這種教育欲望,與「文化」、「治理」及「具地體現」的概念相結合,從地方脈絡、國家政策、歷史傳統、普遍性等層面,探索教育欲望的形成與實踐,析論什麼樣的因素促使它成為整體性的社會現象,並影響到家庭開支和國民經濟的優先順序、出生率、種族關係、治理模式、社會與政治階序等。
任柯安對中國教育文化的精闢分析,啟發我們去思考教育欲望與社會轉型及治理實踐的關係,並檢視教育欲望如何被定位在台灣、東亞社會,甚或世界其他地區。

Parents in China greatly value higher education for their children, but the intensity and effects of their desire to achieve this goal have largely gone unexamined—until now. Governing Educational Desire explores the cultural, political, and economic origins of Chinese desire for a college education as well as its vast consequences, which include household and national economic priorities, birthrates, ethnic relations, and patterns of governance.
Where does this desire come from? Andrew B. Kipnis approaches this question in four different ways. First, he investigates the role of local context by focusing on family and community dynamics in one Chinese county, Zouping. Then, he widens his scope to examine the provincial and national governmental policies that affect educational desire. Next, he explores how contemporary governing practices were shaped by the Confucian examination system, uncovering the historical forces at work in the present. Finally, he looks for the universal in the local, considering the ways aspects of educational desire in Zouping spread throughout China and beyond. In doing so, Kipnis provides not only an illuminating analysis of education in China but also a thought-provoking reflection on what educational desire can tell us about the relationship between culture and government.
