Description

Vanessa Fong's Paradise Redefined explores the experiences of Chinese students who have left their homeland to study abroad in various countries. Born into a society with strict one-child policies, these individuals are now navigating the complexities of elite status and flexible citizenship in the developed world. As they earn prestigious college educations, they face unexpected challenges and ambivalence about their decisions. Fong's ethnographic research offers insights into China's globalization by examining how Chinese students weigh their options for studying abroad, staying abroad, immigration, and returning home. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the social, economic, and psychological factors that shape the experiences of these young individuals as they redefine what it means to be successful in a rapidly changing world.
