ABSTRACT
In the final chapter, we first revisit the foregoing chapters on the identity work, educational socialisation, and resilience building of Chinese diaspora young people in Australia and Canada. We acknowledge the explanatory power of Bourdieu’s reflexive sociology in our research work on Chinese diaspora. At the same time, we highlight our tentative attempts to extend Bourdieu’s theoretical and methodological frameworks. Then we reflect on our journey to and with Chinese diaspora by sociologising our diasporic selves through Bourdieu’s epistemological tools of field analysis and participant objectivation. We conclude the book with a call for moving the field forward through developing a critical sociology of Chinese diaspora.
