This book explores the personal experiences of professionals who
are a part of the post-colonial and late-industrializing reality in
the global value chain in Singapore. Looking at Chinese Singaporean
employees at a French multi-national firm, the author explores the
evolving social constructions of 'Chineseness'. Sociologist Manuel
Castells once hailed Singapore as 'the only true Leninist project
that has survived', and Lee revisits the Singapore 'social
laboratory', addressing recent dialectics that transpire within the
global political economy. Currently, professional actors need to
address the demands of dual hegemony in response to China's rise in
the Western-dominated capitalist political economy. Underlying
these constructions are enduring dispositions that mediate
interpretations of professionalism. The author puts to test the
potential for change, surveying a large cohort of teachers as
makers of future professionals. The question is, does change occur
in the domain of practice or the habitus, if it is possible in the
first place? The book will be of interest to scholars and students
with an interest in Sociology, Identity and Ethnicity, Business
Management, Globalisation, Organizational Sociology and Sociology
of Education.
