Segmented Network Embeddedness: Influence of Cultural Capital on Social Networks and Business Models Among Chinese Entrepreneurs in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
This study examines how social network practices among Chinese entrepreneurs in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, reflect differentiated migration experiences and class resources.

An Examination of Internet Use and Its Association With Gender Ideology Among Older Adults: Insights From China
Internet use among older Chinese adults is widespread, but little is known about the correlation between internet use and the evolution of gender ideology among this demographic.

Networked individualism with superficial integration: A study on Chinese entrepreneurs in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
Drawing upon semi-structured interviews of Chinese entrepreneurs in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, this paper demonstrates the commonly marginal influence of kinship, townspeople attachment, and ethnic identity on Chinese entrepreneurs’ interpretive framework on their social networks and business activities.

Objective: Within the context of rapid sociocultural transformation in Chinese society over recent decades, exploring intergenerational disparities in attitudes toward non-conventional sexual behaviors holds sociological significance.

A Community Unimagined: The Influence of Individualistic Culture among Chinese Entrepreneurs in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
An ethnic enclave is characterized by ethnic solidarity, spatially-clustering ethnic economy, and ethnic place-making which mutually reinforce each other. However, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, where a Chinatown seems to be emerging, many Chinese entrepreneurs show indifference toward place-making and community-building. This study demonstrates how an individualistic culture influences entrepreneurs' perception of business practices and social networks, r…
Reconfiguring China: An analysis of history textbooks in the Republic of China (1912–1949)
Nation-building in modern China at the beginning of the twentieth century had to manage the strain between ethnic nationalism and the claim of a multi-ethnic national identity. This study focuses on how history textbooks defined China and addressed this paradox. Based on the qualitative content analysis of eight popular middle school history textbooks about imperial China, this paper demonstrates how Han nationalism and the multi-ethnic nationali…
A Chinatown undeclared: Chinese entrepreneurs’ unethnic ways of being in Ikebukuro, Tokyo

Drawing on the concepts of ‘ways of being’ and ‘ways of belonging’, the qualitative interview data suggest the unethnic characteristics of the ways of being in business practices. Chinese ent…
