Beschreibung
Exploring how people negotiate and reconcile, construct and re-construct their distinctive gender and ethnic identities in a cross-cultural context, Hu examines what happens when two distinct cultures meet at the intimate interface of marriage and family. Chinese-British Intermarriage reveals how gender and ethnic identities intersect in distinctive ways in shaping the lived experiences of intermarried couples. Through the kaleidoscope of first-generation Chinese-British inter-ethnic families in the UK, the book brings together family, gender, migration and ethnic studies, reflecting on ongoing social processes such as individualisation and globalisation.

“This is an accessible study that sheds new light on how men and women make sense of their intimate relationships within and across ethnic divides, which should be compulsory reading for those interested in the interconnections of gender, ethnicity and family, as well as those concerned with migration practice and policy.” (Jacqueline Scott, University of Cambridge, UK)
“Sociological writing on the subject of inter-ethnic union formation at its very best. ... Its contribution to theory, methodological innovation, and the acuity of the analysis, including insights into the life-course dynamics of Chinese-British inter-ethnic families and the relevance of ethnicity and gender, make this book an indispensable work of scholarship for all those interested in the broader topic of the sociology of ethnic relations.” (Peter J Aspinall, University of Kent, UK)
