    Abstract: How do the people of a village that is both Chinese and Christian reconcile the contradictions between their religious and ethnic identities? This ethnographic study explores the construction and changing meanings of ethnic identity in Hong Kong. Established at the turn of the century by Hakka Christians who sought to escape hardships and discrimination in China, Shung Him Tong was constructed as an ""ideal"" Chinese and Christian village.

    Abstract: Hong Kong is a meeting place for migrant domestic workers, traders, refugees, asylum seekers, tourists, businessmen, and local residents. In Born Out of Place, Nicole Constable looks at the experiences of Indonesian and Filipina women in this Asian world city. Giving voice to the stories of these migrant mothers, their South Asian, African, Chinese, and Western expatriate partners, and their Hong Kong-born babies, Constable raises a serious question: Do we regard migrants as people, or just as temporary workers? This accessible ethnography provides insight into global problems of mobility, family, and citizenship and points to the consequences, creative responses, melodramas, and tragedies of labor and migration policies

Digital Library Federation, December 2002 , Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-274) and index , Making introductions -- Ethnography in imagined virtual communities -- Feminism and myths of "mail-order" marriages -- Fairy tales, family values, and the global politics of romance -- Political economy and the cultural logics of desire -- Women's agency and the gendered geography of marriage -- Tales of waiting: history, immigration, and the state -- Conclusion: marriage, migration, and transnational families , By the year 2000 more than 350 Internet agencies were plying the email-order marriage trade, and the business of matching up mostly Western men with women from Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America had become an example of globalization writ large.
