Description: Uneasy Reunions : Immigration, Citizenship, and Family Life in Post-1997 Hong Kong, Hardcover by Newendorp, Nicole Dejong, ISBN 0804758131, ISBN-13 9780804758130, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Newendorp (social studies, Harvard U.) reports findings from a study of family reunion migration taking place between mainland Chinese wives and their Hong Kong husbands in post-1997 Hong Kong. The study is based on in-depth interactions and interviews between the author and employees and clients at a social service agency in Sham Shi Po, Hong Kong, from May 2001 through June 2002. Despite shared citizenship status as members of the Peoples Republic of China and strong similarities of culture, ethnicity, and history, mainland Chinese wives generally wait for periods of up to ten years to join their husbands. As Newendorp discovers, once reunited the women are surprised, angered, and disappointed by the social and economic marginalization they experience as they adapt to their new lives.
