Chinese-British Intermarriage Summary

Chinese-British Intermarriage: Disentangling Gender and Ethnicity by Yang Hu

Exploring how people negotiate and reconcile, construct and re-construct their distinctive gender and ethnic identities in a cross-cultural context, Hu examines what happens when two distinct cultures meet at the intimate interface of marriage and family. Chinese-British Intermarriage reveals how gender and ethnic identities intersect in distinctive ways in shaping the lived experiences of intermarried couples. Through the kaleidoscope of first-generation Chinese-British inter-ethnic families in the UK, the book brings together family, gender, migration and ethnic studies, reflecting on ongoing social processes such as individualisation and globalisation.

Yang Hu makes a highly original contribution to family sociology in general and the study of interethnic intimate relationships in particular. ... Chinese-British Intermarriage is a book that deserves to be widely read. (Daniel Nehring, thesociologicalreview.com, June, 2018)
