Introduction :

This book explores the complicated identity production process among Chinese immigrants in the United States in relation to rapidly changing global and local contexts. Based on original ethnographic material collected in an upper-middle-class Chinese American community, the author argues for the need to move beyond the framework of traditional nation-state boundaries in order to examine the identity production process of contempory Chinese Americans. This book expands the scope of existing literature on identity production among immigrants of color in both empirical and methodological terms.
