How do people handle contrasting self-conceptions? Do they
necessarily compartmentalize their personal lives from their
professional lives? Do minority and immigrant groups, in
particular, act "ethnic" at home, "American" at work, "racial" in
pan-ethnic spaces? Managing Multicultural Lives moves past this
common assumption and demonstrates how minorities actually bring
together contrasting identities. Using the words and experiences of
Indian American and Korean American professionals themselves, Pawan
Dhingra eloquently shows how people break down the popular "margins
vs. mainstream" conception of group identity and construct a "lived
hybridity." He offers new insight into minorities' experiences at
work, at home, and in civil society. These Asian Americans' ability
to handle group boundaries fluidly leads them to both resist and
support stratified social patterns. It also indicates new, more
nuanced understandings of immigrant adaptation, multiculturalism,
and identity management that pertain to multiple types of immigrant
groups.
