Abstract:

This multidisciplinary approach to cultural mediation brings together insights
from anthropology, sociology, linguistics and intercultural communication to
offer a detailed depiction of family life in immigrant Chinese communities.
Utilising a strongly contextualised and evidence-based narrative approach to
exploring the nature of child cultural mediation, the author provides an
insightful analysis of intercultural relationships between children and
parents in immigrant families and of the informative aspects of their everyday
lives. Furthermore, the family home setting offers the reader a glimpse of a
personal territory that researchers often have great difficulty accessing.
This ethnographic study will be of interest to students, researchers and
professionals working in the areas of intercultural communication, childhood
studies, family relations and migration studies.
