Chinese Identities, Ethnicity and Cosmopolitanism

This is a study of ethnicity, hybridity and cosmopolitanism among Chinese migrants. Using detailed examples, the author analyzes the issues with new perspectives, identifying flaws in classic sociology and rethinking assumptions about identity and selfhood.

Drawing upon wide-ranging case study material, the book explores the ever-changing personal and cultural identity of Chinese migrants and the diverse cosmopolitan communities they create. The various models of newly-forged communities are examined with the added dimension of personal identity and the individual''s place in society.

With particular emphasis on the changing face of Chinese ethnicity in a range of established places of convergence, Chan draws on extensive experience and knowledge in the field to bring the reader a fresh, fascinating and ultimately very human analysis of migration, culture, identity and the self.
