What does it mean to bring Asia into conversation with current
literature on everyday multiculturalism? This book focuses on the
empirical, theoretical and methodological considerations of using an
everyday multiculturalism approach to explore the ordinary ways people
live together in difference in the Asian region while also drawing
attention to increasing trans-Asian mobilities. The chapters in this
collection encompass inter-disciplinary research undertaken in
Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea that
explores some core aspects of everyday multiculturalism as it plays
out in and across Asia. These include an increase in intraregional
movements and especially labour mobility, which demands regard for the
experiences of migrants from Burma, China, Nepal, The Philippines and
India; negotiations of cultural diversity in nations where a
multi-ethnic citizenry is formally recognised through predominantly
pluralist models, and/or where national belonging is highly
racialized; and intercultural contestation against, in some cases, the
backdrop of a newly emergent multicultural policy environment. The
book challenges and reinvigorates discussions around the relative
transferability of an everyday multiculturalism framework to Asia,
including concepts such as super-diversity, conviviality and everyday
racism, and the importance of close attention to how people navigate
differences and commonalities in local and trans-local contexts. This
book will be of interest to academics and researchers studying
migration, multiculturalism, ethnic and racial studies, and to
advanced students of Sociology, Political Science and Public Policy.
It was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
