Identity politics can impede Chinese identification in southeast
Asia because the migrant population, particularly the intellectual
aspect of that population, have to consider the political effects
of their intellectual and social activities on the survival of
Chinese communities. Similarly, these communities have to deal with
the necessity of nation-building in the aftermath of the Second
World War, which required integration rather than the exaggeration
of differences. Consequently, restriction on self-understanding as
well as self-representation has become more than apparent in
Chinese migrant communities in southeast Asia. With this in mind,
identity politics can inspire self-understanding among the migrant
communities, as intellectuals rediscover how humanism can enable a
claim of 'Chineseness' that can be registered differently and
creatively in a variety of national conditions. Migrant communities
generally understand the importance of political accuracy, and this
being accurate involves subscribing to pragmatism, something which
is apparent in the scholarship and creative outputs of these
communities. Humanism and pragmatism together are the
epistemological parameters of self-representation, whereas
civilizational and ethnic studies are their methodological
parameters. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Asian Ethnicity.
