Understanding the Dynamics of Teacher Agency, Resilience, and
Identity in the Neoliberal Age focuses on the complexity of
teachers' agency, resilience, and identity across various contexts.
Neoliberal educational policy technologies have been constantly
(re)shaping educational professionalism, subjectivity, teaching,
and evaluation. Within this climate, teacher agency, resilience,
and identity are vital factors for maintaining teachers'
well-functioning and well-being. Moreover, teacher agency,
resilience, and identity do not exist independently but reinforce
each other constitutively, which enable teachers to see beyond
challenge and fluctuating confidence and withstand pressure. The
educational contexts in this book encompass rural, immigrant,
preservice education, special education, internationalized school
contexts, etc. Theoretically, this book disentangles the conceptual
understandings and methodological considerations of teacher agency,
resilience, and identity. Practically, the contributors from
various countries and regions explore how various contexts
influence teacher agency, resilience, and identity in the
neoliberal age.
High rates of intermarriage, especially with Whites, have been
viewed as an indicator that Asian Americans are successfully
"assimilating," signaling acceptance by the White majority and
their own desire to become part of the White mainstream. Comparing
two types of Asian American intermarriage, interracial and
interethnic, Kelly H. Chong disrupts these assumptions by showing
that both types of intermarriages, in differing ways, are sites of
complex struggles around racial/ethnic identity and cultural
formations that reveal the salience of race in the lives of Asian
Americans. Drawing upon extensive qualitative data, Chong explores
how interracial marriages, far from being an endpoint of
assimilation, are a terrain of life-long negotiations over racial
and ethnic identities, while interethnic (intra-Asian) unions and
family-making illuminate Asian Americans' ongoing efforts to
co-construct and sustain a common racial identity and panethnic
culture despite interethnic differences and tensions. Chong also
examines the pivotal role race and gender play in shaping both the
romantic desires and desirability of Asian Americans, spotlighting
the social construction of love and marital choices. Through the
lens of intermarriage, Love Across Borders offers critical insights
into the often invisible racial struggles of this racially
in-between "model minority" group -- particularly its ambivalent
negotiations with whiteness and white privilege -- and on the
group's social incorporation process and its implications for the
redrawing of color boundaries in the U.S.
