Dragon Seed in the Antipodes

"Dragon Seed in the Antipodes is a pioneering work on the nature and construction of Chinese-Australian identity. Shen Yuanfang's close examination of self-portraits by more than twenty Chinese Australians shows that they resist any facile generalisation about a unified Chinese identity." "The authors of these personal accounts, covering a period from the 1860s to the 1990s, fall broadly into five groups. There are nineteenth-century immigrants; those who arrived around the time of World War II; Australian-born Chinese; immigrants of Chinese descent from South-East Asian countries; and those who came recently from the People's Republic of China."--BOOK JACKET.
