Consuming Citizenship investigates how Korean American and Chinese
American children of entrepreneurial immigrants demonstrate their
social citizenship as Americans through conspicuous consumption.
The American immigrant entrepreneur has played a central role in
projecting the American ideology of meritocracy and equality. The
children of these immigrants are seen as evidence of an open
society. While it appears that these children have readily adapted
to American culture, questions remain as to why second-generation
Asian Americans feel compelled to convince others of their
legitimacy and the way they go about asserting their citizenship
status. Extending our understanding of such children beyond the
traditional emphasis on assimilation, the author argues that their
consumptive behavior is a significant expression of their
paradoxical position as citizens who straddle the boundaries of
social inclusion and exclusion.
