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, multi-sited 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. 606 $aChild rearing$zTaiwan 606 $aChild rearing$zUnited States 606 $aFamilies$zTaiwan 606 $aImmigrant families$zUnited States 606 $aTaiwanese Americans$xFamily relationships 606 $aChinese Americans$xFamily relationships 606 $aSocial classes$zTaiwan 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States 607 $aTaiwan$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChild rearing 615 0$aChild rearing 615 0$aFamilies 615 0$aImmigrant families 615 0$aTaiwanese Americans$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aChinese Americans$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aSocial classes 676 $a306.850951249 700 $aLan$b Pei-Chia$f1970-$01045527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466820403321 996 $aRaising global families$92471888 997 $aUNINA
