This book offers a unique focus on the well-being of Chinese and
South/Southeast Asian students in the context of Hong Kong, and in
particular the experience of integrating these young people into
its schooling system. Yuen uses a narrative method that captures
and offers a vivid insight into the actual experience of students
from disadvantaged backgrounds, whilst providing fascinating
comparisons between students coming from Mainland China and those
whose parents are South/Southeast Asian immigrants. Readers will be
particularly interested in the attention given to spiritual
well-being and how religious participation and affiliation make a
difference in giving meaning to life and in creating a positive
mindset, as viewed and explained by students themselves. This
well-organised volume begins by laying out the major themes
relating to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child, followed by a richly elaborated theoretical chapter which
defines core concepts and their interconnection. This is followed
by substantive chapters where the voices of each of the different
diverse groupings of students, Chinese Mainland immigrants, Chinese
Cross-boundary youth, South/Southeast Asian ethnic youth and
mainstream HK youth from underprivileged backgrounds, are heard and
interpreted in relation to themes of inclusion and well-being. It
then builds upon the narratives to provide bottom-up solutions and
pathways towards the inclusion and well-being of all students, as
well as the professional development of teachers who can take up
the challenge of ensuring that all young people are nurtured to
fulfil their potential. Providing readers with practical
implications and takeaways for education practice, this must-read
work will appeal to a wide range of education practitioners and
students involved in providing or researching inclusive education
relating to mainstream and non-mainstream Chinese, South Asian, and
other ethnic minority students.
