Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
The concentration of Chinese-owned businesses has been increasing in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. This study aims to analyse the extent to which local Chinese businesspeople are inclined to declare their presence as a solidified ethnic community in a metropolitan city. Drawing on the concepts of ‘ways of being’ and ‘ways of belonging’, the qualitative interview data suggest the unethnic characteristics of the ways of being in business practices. Chinese entrepreneurs embed their businesses into local institutions and markets, which may render ethnic ways of belonging, such as ethnic association activities and ethnic community-building, at odds with their interests according to their perceptions.

Contesting Master Narratives: Renderings of National History by Mainland China and Taiwan
/ Lyu, Zhaojin ; Zhou, Haiyan

Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
The growing tension between mainland China and Taiwan has a cultural aspect closely related to national identity. We focus on recent history curriculum changes in the mainland and in Taiwan and find that education authorities on both sides have implemented master narratives for content selection in and organization of history textbooks. In mainland China, the master narrative of pluralist unity constructs a geographically consistent Chinese nation throughout history, which bolsters the state's current claim to a territorial integrity including Taiwan. In Taiwan, the master narrative of multiculturalism becomes the essence of Taiwanese identity, and weakens Sinocentrism in Taiwanese official historiography.
