‘Car Talk’: Automobility and Chinese international students in Michigan
The apparent conspicuous consumption of luxury vehicles by Chinese international students attending a public Michigan University provides an opportunity to examine the convergence of different ideas about automobility. Upwardly mobile Chinese families send their children to Michigan, a state with a tradition of auto-production, for educational opportunities not available in China. The resulting ‘car talk’ of local residents about Chinese students…
Reassessing Chinese American Identities
Comparing and contrasting two of my previous research projects, both of which focus on Chinese American youths, I examine the ways that the circumstances of their upbringings shape their relationships with China as a homeland, with the U.S. as their country of residence, and with their Chinese identities more broadly. In the process, I consider the future of diasporic relationships with the Chinese homeland as they are shaped by the politics of b…
Pandas, Lions, and Dragons, oh my: How White Adoptive Parents Construct Chineseness
Pandas, Lions, and Dragons, oh my!"How White Adoptive Parents Construct Chineseness Andrea Louie (bio) Whites choose which aspects of the abducted child's culture to assimilate into family life and which to discard. The children are forced to participate in the racial fantasies of the white parents. White parents dress the children of color up in their "native costumes." They treat their abducted children like little ethnic dolls. The white paren…
Chineseness across Borders: Renegotiating Chinese Identities in China and the United States
Village Encounters (Beginnings)In July 1992, on summer break from graduate school, I visited my paternal grandfather's village in Heshan County, Guangdong Province, for the first time, accompanied by my fellow participants in the In Search of Roots program.∞ This program, run by organizations in Guangzhou and in San Francisco, provided an opportunity for young adults (ages seventeen to twenty-five) of Cantonese descent to visit their ancestral vi…

Crafting places through mobility: Chinese American "roots-searching" in China
A cultural heritage tour to China that is jointly sponsored by Chinese American organizations and the People's Republic of China government represents the “forging” (Schein 1998) of a transnational relationship between Chinese Americans and China through which Chinese Americans re‐assess their identities. Multicultural discourses in the United States and mainland Chinese government narratives of modernity produce racialized and territorialized id…
Re-Territorializing Transnationalism: Chinese Americans and the Chinese motherland
A youth festival sponsored by the Chinese (P.R.C.) government for overseas Chinese youth (hua yi) who visit China represents a political ritual of the Chinese state that draws upon a long history of invoking discourses of Chinese culture to create connections to the Chinese abroad. Though framed in a context of continuity, the festival ironically produces new knowledges about different ways of being Chinese, exposing the fissures within the assum…
