What is Ungrounded Empires : The Cultural Politics of Modern Chinese Transnationalism about?
Ong examines Chinese transnationalism as a distinctive domain within the new 'flexible' capitalism emerging in the Asia Pacific region. These essays are based on new ethnographic research. In the last two decades, Chinese transnationalism has become a distinctive domain within the new "flexible" capitalism emerging in the Asia-Pacific region. Ungrounded Empires maps this domain as the intersection of cultural politics and global capitalism, drawing on recent ethnographic research to critique the impact of late capitalism's institutions--flexibility, travel, subcontracting, multiculturalism, and mass media--upon transnational Chinese subjectives. Interweaving anthropology and cultural studies with interpretive political economy, these essays offer a wide range of perspectives on "overseas Chinese" and their unique location in the global arena
