The book explains how multi-generational Australian-born Chinese
(ABC) negotiate the balance of two cultures. It explores both the
philosophical and theoretical levels, focusing on deconstructing
and re-evaluating the concept of 'Chineseness.' At a social and
experiential level, it concentrates on how successive generations
of early migrants experience, negotiate and express their Chinese
identity. The diasporic literature has taken up the idea of hybrid
identity construction largely in relation to first- and
second-generation migrants and to the sojourner's sense of roots in
a diasporic setting somewhat lost in the debate over Chinese
diasporas and identities are the experiences of long-term migrant
communities. Their experiences are usually discussed in terms of
the melting-pot concepts of assimilation and integration that
assume ethnic identification decreases and eventually disappears
over successive generations. Based on ethnography, fieldwork and
participant observation on multi-generational Australian-born
Chinese whose families have resided in Australia from three to six
generations, this study reveals a contrasting picture of ethnic
identification.

Social Policy and Change in East Asia is a collection of essays
from a group of indigenous East Asian social policy researchers who
met bi-annually to discuss social development issues. The book s
focus is the policy responses of respective East Asian government
since the 2008 financial tsunami struck the region. Together, the
essays in Social Policy and Change in East Asia argue that
traditional social policy approach has failed to account for the
problem of economic volatility and to devise policy measures that
can promote long-term stability. Avoiding a static and Eurocentric
approach, the authors of this book seek to unravel the meaning of
the social development approach in various policy contexts. This
book supports a dynamic understanding of social policy formulation
that does not neglect the problem of economic turbulence in policy
and planning.
