Written by ethnic Chinese who were born or raised outside of China, they describe the experience of growing up as a visible minority and the subsequent journey each author made to China. The authors - whose diverse backgrounds in countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Sri Lanka, England, Indonesia, and the USA mirror the complex global scope of the Chinese diaspora - describe in particular how their journey to the country of their ancestors transformed their sense of what it means to be Chinese. The collection as a whole intends to provide an insight into what ethnic identity has come to mean in our transnational era. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 98113)
