Identity and Belonging Among Chinese Australians

Bag om Identity and Belonging Among Chinese Australians

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.
