Pipo Bui Envisioning Vietnamese Migrants in Germany Ethnic stigma, immigrant origin narratives and partial masking Reihe: Forum Europäische Ethnologie Bd. 3, 2003, 240 S., 19.90 EUR, br., ISBN 3-8258-6917-2 Ethnic stigma is the worst-case scenario for a migrant group, but migrants cope with origin narratives and partial masking - two novel concepts introduced in this book. Parallel to the national narratives of natives, immigrant origin narratives by Vietnamese in Germany invoke and retrench the histories of East & West Germany and North & South Vietnam. By partially masking their identity as Chinese or Asian, Vietnamese entrepreneurs circumvent ethnic stigma and use their physiognomy to market exotic goods. |
