Identity and Belonging Among Chinese Australians : Phenotype, Ethnic Language and Cultural Values, Hardback Book

Identity and Belonging Among Chinese Australians : Phenotype, Ethnic Language and Cultural Values Hardback

Part of the Migration, Minorities and Modernity series

Hardback

Description

This book describes the ethnic identity construction involved in ‘being’, ‘feeling’ and ‘doing’ Chinese for multi-generation Australian-born Chinese, who were born and raised in a different social environment.

It demonstrates how Chineseness is manifested in a multitude of ways and totally debunks any notion that being Chinese is a simple identity marker.

The book shows that while there are commonalities with the American-born, the experiences of Australia-born Chinese are distinct in many ways. This book is a timely and critically examination of the inescapability of Chineseness particularly when social and economic stability is threatened and those in power are looking for a scapegoat.
