Keywords:	Ethnic Relations
Issue Date:	2010
Publisher:	Springer
Description:	The book aims to recast the theoretical ideas surrounding the issues of ethnic identity of the Chinese based on primary data collected in the various countries of Southeast Asia. One of the key focus is to problematize the label, Chineseness. It will be suggested that Chineseness is a dynamic rather than a static concept, and that the Chinese do not constitute a homogenous group. In the same vein, the indigenous groups are also not homogenous. Labels such as “Thai,” “Indonesian,” “Burmese,”,“Filipino,” are treated as problematic, not given. The discourse of identity and ethnicity, how individuals or groups of individuals, make sense of and negotiate their identities in multi-cultural societies, is the main focus of this book.
