Read moreethnic studies scholarship. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (A. Cho, Choice, Vol. 50 (5), January, 2013) "...The Chinese Face in Australia...an excellent job of portraying and analyzing the challenges of "doing Chinese" in Australia and elsewhere, it clarifies key issues which surround the present sociological conceptions of ethnicity and social identities...The Chinese Face in Australia represents a real step forward in the consideration of ethnic identity....the book expresses the cautious hope that what its authors have to say about ethnicity goes further than addressing the case of the identified Australian-born Chinese." May S. Partridge, Independent Scholar Journal of Chinese Overseas, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2014 "The book has offered a rare and nuanced analysis of the psychology and sociology of Chinese men and women in a changing Australia. Apart from enriching our understanding of multi-generation identities among Chinese men and women born in Australia, the book has ably captured issues of race, ethnicity, and gender in Australia from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, including the important post-World War II experiments with mass immigration and ensuing assimilation, integration and multicultural approaches to managing cultural diversity."
