Raising Global Families : Parenting, Immigration, and Class in Taiwan and the US
關於亞洲育兒的公共話語傾向於將民族文化視為一種靜態價值觀，從而掩蓋了中國養育子女的流動性和多樣性。這種陳規定型觀念也未能解釋在充滿全球化價值的快速現代化世界中撫養兒童的挑戰。在本書中，Pei-Chia Lan探討了台灣和美國的華裔父母如何在全球化和移民的背景下談判，文化差異和階級不平等來撫養孩子。她利用一個獨特的比較多元研究模型，由四組父母組成：台灣的中產階級和工薪階層父母，以及波士頓地區的中產階級和工薪階層的中國移民。儘管有著相似的民族文化背景，但這些父母制定了針對特定階級的情境敏感策略，以安排孩子的教育、照顧和紀律，並應對不斷變化的環境所帶來的不確定性。 Lan的跨太平洋比較表明，階級不平等滲透到家庭生活的結構中，即使它在不同的國家背景下以不同的方式形成。
Public discourse on Asian parenting tends to fixate on ethnic culture as a static value set, disguising the fluidity and diversity of Chinese parenting. Such stereotypes also fail to account for the challenges of raising children in a rapidly modernizing world, full of globalizing values. In Raising Global Families Pei-Chia Lan examines how ethnic Chinese parents in Taiwan and the United States negotiate cultural differences and class inequality to raise children in the contexts of globalization and immigration. She draws on a uniquely comparative, multisited research model with four groups of parents: middle-class and working-class parents in Taiwan, and middle-class and working-class Chinese immigrants in the Boston area. Despite sharing a similar ethnic cultural background, these parents develop class-specific, context-sensitive strategies for arranging their children's education, care, and discipline, and for coping with uncertainties provoked by their changing surroundings. Lan's cross-Pacific comparison demonstrates that class inequality permeates the fabric of family life, even as it takes shape in different ways across national contexts.
