The Chinese in Britain, 1800-Present: Economy, Transnationalism, Identity

This study points up the complex and intricate interplay of ethnic and national identities in the lives of Chinese in Britain.

This study argues that transnational studies reinforce essentialist conceptions of identity and of cultural authenticity in diasporic communities, and thus frustrate the promotion of ethnic co-existence and social cohesion in multi-ethnic societies.
