This volume breaks new ground in analyzing the relationships between migrants adjustment, assimilation, and remembering home through the focal point of memories. Some chapters focus conceptually on memories as social expressions, a locus of place, cultural capital, and imagination. Others explore the tensions and conflicts in representing and renegotiating memories through the world of literature and cinema. Description for Bookstore This book considers how memory, identity, and sense of belonging has helped shape Chinese migrants understanding of self, the diasporic community(ies), and the wider society in which they live.
