This study reviews developments in the ethnic and national identity
of the descendants of migrants, taking ethnic Chinese as a case
study. Our core question is why, in spite of debates worldwide
about identity, exclusion and rights, do minority communities
continue to suffer discrimination and attacks? This question is
asked in view of the growing incidence in recent years of 'racial'
conflicts between majority and minority communities and among
minorities, in both developed and developing countries. The study
examines national identity from the perspective of migrants'
descendants, whose national identity may be more rooted than is
often thought. Concepts such as 'new ethnicities', 'cultural
fluidity', and 'new' and 'multiple' identities feature in this
examination. These concepts highlight identity changes across
generations and the need to challenge and reinterpret the meaning
of 'nation' and to review problems with policy initiatives designed
to promote nation-building in multi-ethnic societies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
