About this book
Reviews
"At a time when Britain is increasingly ethnically diverse, and yet still riven by social divisions and modes of 'othering' and prejudice, Tamsin Barber's study of the British Vietnamese is highly timely and engaging. Through an engaging and controversial 'take' on Orientalism, this book makes an important contribution to scholarship on ethnic minority experience in Britain." - Prof. Miri Song, University of Kent, United Kingdom
"This book provides a much needed analysis of the experiences, understandings and social position of the British born Vietnamese as well as having a more international focus, filling in an innovative way a glaring gap in the literature. It is also an important and nuanced contribution to the area of migration and ethnic studies. It asks us to be mindful of the importance of gender and class and to the problems of culturalising minority groups, whilst at the same time paying attention to the ways in which the British born Vietnamese articulate and perform their social identities in multiple ways, in the context of diverse forms of exclusion and social participation. This book is essential reading for students, scholars and professionals who are concerned with how migrants and their descendants manage racialisation and disadvantage." - Prof. Floya Anthias, University of East London, United Kingdom
"Oriental Identities makes a valuable contribution to the fields of critical postcolonial studies and the sociology of immigration by detailing the everyday experiences of under-researched second-generation British-born Vietnamese. It is a vital resource for anyone trying to make sense of changing ethnic identities and race relations in the context of an increasingly diverse Britain." - Yen Le Espiritu, University of California, United States
