Notes

  1. 1.

    Race is typically defined on the basis of physical markers, such as skin colour, while ethnicity is mostly categorised on the basis of cultural characteristics, such as shared customs and language (Pilkington 2003; Ratcliffe 2004; Bloch and Solomos 2010). While I acknowledge the continuing significance and power of race as a social construct (Cornell and Hartmann 2007), I deploy ethnicity as it seems more relevant in my analysis. Drawing on the above delineation of the two categories, all East Asian women arguably share similar racial status with identifiable physical features, which makes more nuanced analysis difficult. In that sense, ethnicity provides a more differentiated analytic lens in terms of the similarities and differences of their lived experiences.

  2. 2.

    Both nation and ethnie are equally worth being examined in this study because of complicated relations between Hong Kong and China. The territory of Hong Kong was incorporated into China during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC–206 BC). However, in the nineteenth century, after the British victory over China in the Opium War, Hong Kong came under the rule of the UK until the British handover in 1997. Since then, Hong Kong has become part of the Republic of China. While women in my study frequently referred back to their national cultural heritage, given this historical development, Hong Kong is not said to be an independent nation -state in political terms, although it has developed a different socio, political, economic and cultural environment from mainland China. In this respect, for mothers from Hong Kong the term ‘nation ’ is not adequate. Thus, the majority of the time the term ‘ethnicity ’, ‘ethnic identity ’, ‘ethnic heritage’ or ‘ethnic culture ’ is used in the following chapters. However, when appropriate, the words ‘national heritage’ or ‘national culture ’ are also used.
