The Chinese have been one of the oldest and largest ethnic
communities across the world with well over 35 million people
living overseas. Despite their relatively large cultural distance
from the host countries, and the ordeals faced by generations of
Chinese immigrants due to stereotypes, prejudice, and racism, many
have adjusted remarkably well economically and socially in their
new country. But how do generations of Chinese immigrants reconcile
seemingly incompatible demands from home and host cultures to
negotiate bicultural or multicultural identities? Identity,
Hybridity and Cultural Home explores the multifaceted concept of
cultural identity to uncover the meaning of cultural home for
Chinese immigrants in multicultural environments. It questions the
conventional notion of a stable and secure cultural identity,
challenges the common conception of bilingualism and biculturalism,
analyses hybrid identities, and identifies directions for future
research on the critical issue of searching for a cultural home in
a multicultural society.
