This interdisciplinary volume situates British Chinese cultures and identities at the centre of contemporary discourses that negotiate the complex entanglements between diasporic communities and belongings, migration and transculturality, representation and plurality. The six parts of this book focus on British Chinese agency, voices, and cultural production, shedding light on resistance to racist ‘othering’ and the complexities of self-definition. At their core, the chapters discuss notions of transnationalism, immigration, and national identity, British Chinese Christianity, the trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic, (in)visibility and representation, mediations of cultural identity in community magazines as well as literary renditions of (post-)migrant British Chinese identities. Bringing together contributions from fields as diverse as history, sociology, theology, heritage studies, cultural and literary studies, this volume aims to diversify the understanding of what it means to be ‘British Chinese’ and extends existing conversations in and beyond British Chinese studies into the 2020s.
