This is the first book that probes the lived experiences of Chinese
immigrant faculty in North American higher education institutions:
their struggles, challenges, successes, etc. It explores how their
past experiences in China have shaped who they are now, what they
do and how they pursue their teaching, research, and service, as
well as the reality of their everyday life that inevitably
intertwines with their present and past diverse cultural
backgrounds and unique experiences. Different from previous books
that explore immigrant/minority faculty defined ambiguously and
broadly and from the theoretical framework of ethnic relations,
this book has a particular focus on mainland Chinese immigrant
faculty, which offers a richer and deeper understanding of their
cross-culture experiences through autoethnographic research and by
multiple lenses. Through authors' vivid portray of the ebbs and
flows of their life in the academe, readers will gain an enjoyable
and holistic knowledge of the cultural, political, linguistic,
scholarly, and personal issues contemporary Chinese immigrant
faculty encounter as they cross the border of multiple worlds. All
contributors to this book had the experience of being the
first-generation Chinese immigrants, and they either are currently
teaching or used to teach in North American higher education
institutions, who were born, brought up, educated in Mainland China
and came to North America for graduate degrees from early 1980s to
2000.
