摘要

在封锁期间，档案馆的关闭和新的工作方式的推动下，苏林·刘易斯和罗伯特·比克斯在自己的家族历史中发现了一个意想不到的交集。他们祖父母的照片拍摄于相距十万英里的地方，但在马来亚非殖民化和新马来西亚诞生的过程中，却暴露了移民、战争和社会愿望的平行历史。汽车是社会向前和向上流动的象征，在这个殖民地，丰富的自然资源助长了战后全球中产阶级的爆炸。这篇文章提醒我们，即使我们被限制在家里，有相册作为我们的档案，我们也可以在日常社会历史的平庸中找到新的可能性，当我们编织在一起时，可能会更丰富。

Four Lives, Two Cars, and a Colony

Prompted by the closure of archives and new ways of working during lockdown, Su Lin Lewis and Robert Bickers find an unexpected intersection in their own family histories. Photographs of their grandparents were taken a decade and a hundred miles apart but betray parallel histories of migration, war, and social aspiration amid the decolonization of Malaya and the birth of a new Malaysia. The car is a symbol of social mobility both forwards and up, in a colony whose wealth of natural resources helped fuel the postwar explosion of the global middle class. This piece reminds us that even when we are confined to our homes, with albums as our archives, we can also find new possibilities in the banality of everyday social histories, perhaps richer when woven together.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
