Looking at Chinese Singaporean employees at a French multi-national firm, the author explores the evolving social constructions of 'Chineseness'. Sociologist Manuel Castells once hailed Singapore as 'the only true Leninist project that has survived', and Lee\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003erevisits the Singapore 'social laboratory', addressing recent dialectics that transpire within the global political economy. Currently, professional actors need to address the demands of dual hegemony in response to China's rise in the Western-dominated capitalist political economy. Underlying these constructions are enduring dispositions that mediate interpretations of professionalism. The author puts to test the potential for change, surveying a large cohort of teachers as makers of future professionals. The question is, does change occur in the domain of practice or the habitus, if it is possible in the first place? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in Sociology, Identity and Ethnicity, Business Management, Globalisation, Organizational Sociology and Sociology of Education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daphnee Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113758257X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137582577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Daphnee Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517947654399,"sku":"9781137582577","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79fc2693-ae49-4c57-a62f-854febb29d73.jpg?v=1778733193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-chineseness-daphnee-lee-9781137582577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
