Global Spaces of Chinese Culture : Diasporic Chinese Communities in the United States and Germany PDF
by Sylvia Van Ziegert
Part of the Studies in Asian Americans series
Description
This book is an exploration of how Chinese communites in the United States and Germany create and disseminate a sense of diasporic Chinese identity.
It not only compares the local conditions of the Chinese communities in the two locations, but also moves to a global dimension to track the Chinese transnational imaginary.
Van Ziegert analyzes three strategies that overseas Chinese use to articulate their identities as diasporic subjects:being more American/Germanbeing more Chinesehybridizing and commodifying Chinese culture through trans-cultural performances. These three strategies are not mutually exclusive and they often intersect and supplement each other in unexpected ways.
The author also analyzes how the everyday lives of overseas Chinese connect with global and local factors, and how these experiences contribute to the formation of a global Chinese identity.
