Hybrid identities: The making and unmaking of Chinese-Canadian Identity.
Summary
"In theories of globalization and diaspora, claims about cultural uniformity and ethnicity are often made uncritically. I show these claims to be unfounded through an analysis of second and third generation Canadians of Chinese descent and the identity politics they are faced with in Vancouver, Canada. Affiliation with (Chinese) cultural heritage turns out to be an idiosyncratic process that is not easily essentialized, nor homogenized.
This bachelor thesis is the result of a four-month anthropological study in Vancouver, Canada."
