Social Stratification in Chinese Societies
Chinese Identities, Ethnicity and Cosmopolitanism
Drawing upon wide-ranging case study material, the book explores the ever-changing personal and cultural identity of Chinese migrants and the diverse cosmopolitan communities they create. The various models of newly-forged communities are examined with the added dimension of personal identity and the individual's place in society. With particular emphasis on the changing face of Chinese ethnicity in a range of established places of convergence, C…

Institutional Context and Stress Appraisal: The Experience of Life Insurance Agents in Singapore
This paper examines the experience of work stress and its psychological consequences among Singapore's life insurance agents in the context of the institutional arrangements of the life insurance industry.

The most stress was found to be derived from work demands, and t…

Whilst exploring the familyidentity link, the analytical gaze is on the age and gender politics of the family. It concludes with a note o…
A Family Affair: Migration, Dispersal, and the Emergent Identity of the Chinese Cosmopolitan

First, it argues that dispersing the patrilineal Chinese family is, paradoxically, often a rational family decision to preserve the family, a resourceful and resilient way of strengthening it: families split in order to be together translocally. The "astronaut families" of Hong Kong are a model of such dispersion for our time. Second, the essay argues that these spatially dispersed families constitute stra…
