Globalisation and migration have created a vibrant yet dysphoric
world fraught with different, and sometimes competing, practices
and discourses. The emergent properties of the modern world
inevitably complicate the being, doing, and thinking of Chinese
diasporic populations living in predominantly white,
English-speaking societies. This raises questions of what
'Chineseness' is. The gradual transfer of power from the West to
the East shuffles the relative cultural weights within these
societies. How do the global power shifts and local cultural
vibrancies come to shape the social dispositions and positions of
the Chinese diaspora, and how does the Chinese diaspora respond to
these changes? How does primary pedagogic work through family
upbringing and secondary pedagogic work through educational
socialisation complicate, obfuscate, and enrich Chineseness?
Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's reflexive sociology on relative and
relational sociocultural positions, Mu and Pang assess how
historical, contemporary, and ongoing changes across social spaces
of family, school, and community come to shape the
intergenerational educational, cultural, and social reproduction of
Chinese diasporic populations. The two authors engage in an
in-depth analysis of the identity work, educational socialisation,
and resilience building of young Chinese Australians and Chinese
Canadians in the ever-changing lived world. The authors look
particularly at the tensions and dynamics around the participants'
life and educational choices; the meaning making out of their
Chinese bodies in relation to gender, race, and language; and the
sociological process of resilience that enculturates them into a
system of dispositions and positions required to bounce back from
structural constraints.
