"The Chinese in Britain, 1800- Present": Economy, Transnationalism, Identity (The Palgrave Macmillan Transnational History Series)

by EdmundTerenceGomez (Author), Gregor Benton (Author)

Synopsis

This study points up the complex interplay of ethnic and national identities in the lives of Chinese in Britain, arguing that transnational studies reinforce essentialist conceptions of identity and cultural authenticity in diasporic communities, and thus frustrate the promotion of ethnic co-existence and social cohesion in multi-ethnic societies.
