The Emerging Second Generation in Asia (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting six case studies from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong, this volume marks one of the first forums dedicated to the emerging second generation in Asia. It aims to enhance the literature on the second generation, which has predominantly focused on North America and Western Europe.

Rather than adhering to the assimilation paradigm, this book highlights the complex, non-linear pathways of incorporation and ambivalent identity politics faced by second-generation youth in Asia. It examines how children of international marriage complicate the ethnoscape of their respective societies. By emphasizing the geopolitical contexts and state policies shaping immigrant parents' migration and settlement, chapters explore how these macrostructural factors influence second-generation children's senses of belonging and membership. Furthermore, chapters analyze the distinct manifestations of transnationalism in Asian contexts, blurring the traditional distinction between "sending" and "receiving" countries in the life trajectories of the second generation.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
