In an age of increasingly fragmented migration, consumption, and
globalisation, how do diasporic individuals navigate their ethnic
identities? Diasporas, Weddings and the Trajectories of Ethnicity
investigates the ways that Chinese Singaporeans shape their
Chineseness through wedding rituals and artefacts. Proposing a
framework of ethnic identity as a journey, this book will
Interrogate the processes underlying diasporic ethnicity-making
through weddings. Offer new concepts of transdiasporic space,
ethnic tastes, and aesthetic dissonance. Explore the intersections
between commercialism, ethnicity, and socio-economic divides. Map
the micro-social ramifications of ethnic and racial policy in
Singapore. As a former professional wedding photographer, Terence
Heng brings a sociological lens to the scripted and spontaneous
arena of social interactions that is the wedding day. By combining
ethnographic observation, photography, and poetry, Heng reveals the
many decisions and demands that underscore Singaporean Chinese
weddings, offering novel insights into the roles of the bridal
couple, their social networks, and the wedding industry.
